The creation of the Social Good Summit (launched in 2012) is attributed to Jeremy Heimans ( Avaaz/Purpose co-founder) & and Henry Timms (92nd Street Y) - the authors of "New Power".

It was created in partnership with the United Nations Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ericsson, the United Nations Development Programme, & Mashable.

Following the Social Good Summit was the launch of the "SocialGood community". The founding partners include the Gates Foundation, the Case Foundation, Caterpillar, Cisco, Enactus, Mashable, Rockefeller Foundation, UNDP, the United Nations Foundation, & the 92Y.

“Progress in the next 15 years & beyond—including effectively setting & achieving the next set of global development goals—can’t just be left to the same old power players...

"... Now you can actively involve people in shaping these goals, using new participatory, transparent, & bottom-up new power models."

"New Power +SocialGood is presented by +SocialGood and Purpose”

Other speakers next month include Christiana Figueres - Founding Partner, Global Optimism & Former Executive Secretary, UN Climate Convention, Kumi Naidoo & Secretary General of Amnesty International.

@spencerlatu @ProlekultFilms The big sell is the UN Global Goals.

"2020 Don't Be Late" - we have treasuries to loot, pensions to unlock and billionaires to be saved.
