On June 13 in Boston, Massachusetts, hundreds of individuals will gather under one roof for one purpose: to collaborate for the greater good. People from all walks of life, from across the globe will join forces to discuss progress in the social sector and the innovative methods that drive change in today’s world.
The Collaborative is a three-day learning experience that will include keynotes, panel discussions, and breakout sessions on topics such as data and technology, the future of measuring impact, fundraising best practices, and more.
