Next Frontiers 2024
The Next Frontiers conference 2024 invites people from across the finance ecosystem to explore transformative approaches to wealth management and redistribution, philanthropy, and investment.
Historically, the management of wealth has predominantly centered on achieving the highest possible financial returns, often with little regard for social or environmental impact. However, this approach has contributed to deepening inequalities and escalating ecological crises. We want to gather people and think together about what it could mean for wealth to play an active role in supporting and speeding up the transition to more equitable and just futures, where people and planet can thrive.
There are already inspiring examples of where funding and investment is flowing differently, to benefit people and planet, led by businesses, co-operatives and social enterprises. We want to platform those who have rejected traditional models of financing and funding, and make the case for models of philanthropy and investment that are aligned with regenerative, reparative principles.
More about the event
We’ve designed this year to be a mix of formats, with more interactivity than previous years, whether you join us in person or online.
Expect to be challenged, stimulated, inspired by our panellists and fellow participants. You’ll learn more about the current dynamics of wealth and power, emerging strategies for wealth stewardship, and you will hear from pioneers from around the world in these fields. You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with a diverse crowd of people asking similar questions.
Speakers
