Evolve 2021 is a collaborative gathering of people from around the world who want to come together and learn from each other ways that we can all make a difference in the world, starting with ourselves. Close to 80 conveners will hold space for exploring ideas, sharing practices that are working, and raising topics that don’t get talked about all the time. Three days of amazing learning from both founders in the field and emerging practitioners, as well as non profit leaders and social justice advocates.
This is a conference you won’t want to miss. It’s a difference maker, acknowledging that today’s world needs more people coming together, sharing their similarities and working out their differences. Why? Because we need to make changes to thrive! And those changes can only happen if we better understand one another and collaborate to make our world a better place to live…for everyone. Change begins with each of us – each of us taking the steps we can. And to do that, we need to know “how.” Evolve 2021 will put us in touch with one another so we can collaboratively work together to find that “how.”
A pipe dream? Maybe…but only if we choose not to take up the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities. Evolve2021 is a virtual conference and while virtual conferences have their disadvantages, they have one huge advantage. It allows us to attract the best and the brightest from all over the world, keep costs lower, and include more people from more places and more backgrounds. Our presenters are excited to be a part of this unique gathering. Hear what Wendy Edmonds and Davitta Ealy or Fred Miller and Matt Minihan have to say about being involved with Evolve 2021. We believe that you will be excited too, and we know that our community can solve more issues when we have more hands making the work happen. Evolve gets better with every person who signs up to be a part of it.
We know that people’s financial situations are different, and that COVID and 2020 have affected us all. The team at Evolve has made a number of efforts to mitigate registration costs, including special discount codes. Contact organizers if the cost is prohibitive to discuss options.
