Convergences World Forum 2018
Two days of talking and co-building through 50 workshops, conferences and events that will bring 5,000 experts from around the world together! Come and think along about society, the one that defines us, but also the one that we can help change in order to build a fairer and more sustainable tomorrow.
Let's build together solutions to the social and environmental challenges brought by 5 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Good health and well-being (SDG 3), quality education (SDG 4), decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) and partnerships for the goals (SDG 17).
Beyond sharing best practices, the Forum will be a place and time to look ahead, experiment and be creative, putting collective intelligence to work to find the keys, partners and determination to build a 3Zero world: Zero exclusion, zero carbon, zero poverty.
