The Possible Now Summit will bring together people from around the world who are already cultivating new ways of organizing, resourcing, governing, caring and collaborating. They are connected less by what they do than by the new edges they are exploring and the questions they are asking.

In the lead-up to the Summit we will be introducing some of the people helping to shape the Summit. What are they learning? What experiments are they nurturing? And what do they hope will become possible when these conversations begin to connect?
