Please join us for NYU's 12th Annual Social Innovation Symposium! We are excited to welcome Jorge Fontanez, CEO of B Lab, for a keynote conversation with Esi Seng, GM of Tom's of Maine.

This year's theme, Innovation for Impact: How Crisis Drives World-Changing Ideas, will explore extraordinary responses to change and crisis. Whether faced with problems like a global pandemic, generational poverty, or the existential emergency of climate change, panelists will speak on how they've been able to design new solutions and foster unexpected optimism. Participants will be inspired to innovate under pressure and will learn tips and tricks from social impact leaders of today.
