Ashoka Announces the Next Globalizer Summit – Munich, January 20-22

After successful events in Vienna (August 2010), Stockholm (March 2011), and Vienna (November 2011), the fourth Ashoka Globalizer Summit will be held in Munich, Germany on January 20th-22nd, 2012. At the Globalizer Summits, roughly thirty of the world's leading social and business entrepreneurs come together to explore the future of scaling social innovation. Over three days, these leaders of their fields work intensely to refine and reinforce strategies for scaling some of the world's most exciting social innovations.  They also came together to distill broader insights in order to help the global community of social entrepreneurs deal more effectively with the challenge of scale.

The Globalizer Summit is not a conference but an intimate gathering of world-class entrepreneurs doing what entrepreneurs love to do most: apply their talent and skills to solve intractable problems. Participants leave the Summits energized, inspired, and provoked to act beyond the confines of their own organizations to ensure that their solutions have the potential to affect everyone.

Stay tuned for more news, information and results of the Summit!
