Location: SBS, Nelson Mandela Lecture Theatre
We live in a world in which GDP and quarterly earnings dominate, leaving critical aspects of social progress under-prioritized, underfunded, and marginalized. While solutions exist, their innovators continue to face systemic barriers, structural inefficiencies, and constrained resource flows—blocking benefits to those who need them most. Join leading reformers and systems thinkers to discuss how we can bring about a new status quo: a world in which social progress is valued, and where the most promising solutions are recognized and adopted by those with the power to bring about a just and sustainable future.
