📢 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. 🔗 Register here: https://whova.com/portal/registration/mqKSCZ7h2NMK-YWchjDI/?mc_cid=cf9a4e7540&mc_eid=48d76b4333 (fb)
