Advance social progress by hosting or joining independent events during the Skoll World Forum
Each year, Skoll World Forum delegates and the public can host or attend independent events to drive social change during Forum week. Many events are designed and hosted by change leaders and innovators from around the world.
Led by our partner Marmalade, the Marmalade Festival hosts independent events during the Skoll World Forum to explore and expand solutions to social problems. The Marmalade Festival will take place April 1-4 at the Old Fire Station. All events will be free or low-cost and open to Forum delegates and the public.
