CGI 2024 Puts ‘What’s Working’ in the Spotlight
Catch up on moments you might have missed
We all know what’s not working in the world. Every morning, headlines read of more conflict and less cooperation. But in corners of the planet near and far, there’s a different story unfolding — a story of persistence, innovation, and partnership.
At the CGI 2024 Annual Meeting, thousands of world leaders came together to focus on what is working — to explore solutions and take action on our greatest global challenges including climate, health equity, gun violence, and more.
But don’t just take it from us. This year’s meeting earned extensive coverage not just because of the lineup that kept us motivated and inspired — but because of the size and scale of the 175 new projects and partnerships that were launched, which will have a positive impact on the lives of more than 285 million people when fully funded and implemented.
Powerful stories from Associated Press , People, Fortune, USA Today, Fix the News, and more captured the meeting’s impact. The New York Times’ Dealbook called the conference “a who’s who of business and philanthropy.”
CGI’s community of doers and problem-solvers is 10,000+ partner organizations strong. And together with YOU — our online viewers — we reached millions with the singular message that we can all be a part of what’s working to build a better world.
