    Transforming Transportation 2024

    For millions of people around the world, transportation is a lifeline – to jobs, education and opportunity. But the way people and goods move is also a significant contributor to climate change. As the world reaches for solutions, many are looking to the transport sector for answers that ensure a more livable planet. Financing is a core theme of Transforming Transportation 2024, which will bring together global leaders and transport professionals to explore how all stakeholders can mobilize resources for greener, safer, resilient transport for all, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

    During the two-day event, and week-long side activities, transport and financial leaders and professionals will take a deep dive into the urgent need for climate financing in transportation; the correlation between investments, economic growth, and climate targets; and the role that organizations of all kinds, from development banks to community groups, can play in driving transformative change.

    Showcasing Bold Pathways for Meaningful Change at the Impact Investment Summit

    We have been deep in developing the content plan for the Impact Investment Summit 2024 where we will delve into the powerful themes of Inclusion, Systems Change, Climate, Community, The Arts and more. Our journey will begin by spotlighting community and social impact, with a particular focus on vital areas such as Housing, Inclusion and Education. In a world where disparities persist, we’ll hear from visionaries who are reshaping the landscape of accessible and inclusive living and learning environments. We will engage with thought leaders driving the transition to a more sustainable and resilient future. The sustainability dialogue will extend to nature, agriculture, and waste. In the spirit of true inclusivity, the 2024 Summit will emphasise the value of representation and collaboration. The community clusters, comprising Advisors, Foundations, Institutional Investors, and Family Offices, will converge to forge connections that transcend boundaries and inform the Summit thematics. With excitement and anticipation, we invite you to join us at the Impact Investment Summit as we embark on a transformative journey. Together, we have the potential to be catalysts for meaningful change across systems, communities, and our shared planet. With deep gratitude for the advice and support of our wonderful Advisory Board.

    2024 Sustainable Business and Social Impact Conference

    The theme of this year’s conference is Building a Better Tomorrow. In today’s world, companies are constantly thinking about the sustainability of their business choices and how they can best prepare for the future. With more and more focus being placed on their environmental and social impacts, companies must act today to adapt and build for their success tomorrow. What does it look like when impact and sustainability are woven into the core of a company’s growth plan? How do organizations choose the social or environmental issues they care about and track progress to meeting goals? We’ll answer these questions and more at the 19th Annual Sustainable Business and Social Impact (SBSI) Conference.
