Previous First Mover Summits have taken place in 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2019 across the country. IN 2021 & 2022, WE CONVENED digital summits.

Click the links below for a recap of the past Summits including conference highlights, agendas, participant lists, reports and videos.


Summits are a great vehicle for continuing to amplify one’s own impact as a social innovator. In addition to reconnecting with old friends, the opportunity to form meaningful connections with First Movers in other cohorts is very special. I leave inspired and re-committed to doing more good with business and my career.
