Social Change and Issues

Social change drives the transformation of cultures, institutions, and functions. Every society goes through various types of changes at some point. The simple act of raising awareness for some of the most critical social issues has often proven to be a catalyst for beneficial change. Our social change speakers have proven track records of standing up against injustice by fighting for social change while creating a long-lasting impact on their communities. From national broadcast journalists and TEDx speakers to policy advocates and gender economists, our keynote speakers' purpose is to give back to the community through their work, while inspiring transformation for a better collective future.
