The Philanthropy Innovation Summit is a signature event of Stanford PACS, designed exclusively for individual and family philanthropists. The Summit and related convenings equip community members with the tools and actionable resources to create meaningful social change.
The 2021 Summit was a virtual half-day event focused on peer learning with top leaders and experts in the field of philanthropy and social innovation. The Summit featured Michael R. Bloomberg, Dr. Fei-Fei Li, Dr. Judith Rodin, David Siegel, Darren Walker, and Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen. Through a dynamic program that combined high-level plenaries with small group sessions, we explored the most pressing issues of our time in a carefully curated, non-solicitation environment.
