The Skoll World Forum went virtual from April 13-15, 2021! This year’s program was a mix of plenaries, sessions, networking activities, and more. Catch up on event content you may have missed as it's archived here.
Our theme “Closing the Distance” examined local and global divides as we worked together to build bridges. Together, we explored ways to close the distance between the world’s toughest challenges and the innovative solutions that aim to build a better future for all—and became closer with each other along the way.
The 2021 Forum was designed for everyone dedicated to social progress with several key ways to learn, connect, and take action:
