📢 IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR SYMPOSIUM 2025

🌎 The landscape of international development is shifting rapidly, with the freeze on U.S. foreign assistance funding putting jobs, organizations, and life-saving aid at risk worldwide. Now more than ever, we need to come together to navigate these challenges.

📖 To address these uncertainties, the 2025 Posner Symposium will now be a one-day event on March 13th with a renewed focus on the future of international development—from diversifying funding sources to leading through uncertainty.

💰 The Symposium is also shifting to a pay-what-you-can model, to help those going through financial hardship in these uncertain times. If you have already purchased a ticket and are in need of financial relief, please contact us for a full or partial refund.

Here are just a few of the things we will be covering:

🔹 Funding the Future: Navigating New Landscapes
How can organizations adapt and sustain impact amid funding instability? This session will explore emerging funding models, public-private partnerships, and innovative strategies to secure long-term success.

🔹 Leadership Amidst Growing Challenges: A CEO Roundtable
What does it take to lead in times of uncertainty? Top executives will share firsthand insights on resilience, crisis management, and guiding mission-driven organizations through change.

🔹 Reframing Foreign Aid: How to Shape the Conversation
As foreign assistance faces new constraints, how we frame the dialogue is more important than ever. In a keynote session, Former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack will discuss the intersection of agriculture, diplomacy, and economic development, and how we can communicate impact to policymakers and funders.

📅 March 13, 2025 | Denver, CO | In-person

The need to convene, connect, strategize, and lead the way forward has never been greater, so join us and together we can tackle an uncertain future.
