This annual gathering focused on using entrepreneurship to address global challenges - such as climate change and access to healthcare - will take place both in-person and online. The detailed agenda has not been released, but the 2023 iteration included sessions such as: (1) Do Carbon Markets Have a Place in an Equitable Future?; (2) Nurturing Resilient Health and Wellbeing for Change Makers; and (3) Chain Reaction: Localizing Value Chains to Drive Change.

The application window to attend in-person officially closed on January 31, but online participation is free and open to all. Registration to attend online is scheduled to open during February 2024. There are also a range of associated in-person events to take place in Oxford during the 4-day forum, and details on these are expected to be released soon. The forum is hosted by the Skoll Foundation, which was founded by Jeff Skoll in 1999 and focuses on supporting social entrepreneurs via a global network.
