Dear {{FirstName or 'friend'}},
I am pleased to share with you the first set of remarkable speakers who will inspire and provoke us at our Othering & Belonging Conference on April 25-27. About 1,800 of us will gather at the beautifully restored lakeside Kaiser Center for the Arts in Oakland, CA for 3 days of arts, learning, and connection. |
Our theme this year is Belonging Without Othering. Over the coming weeks, you will see more of the extraordinary artists, thinkers, and belonging-builders who will grace our stage and help us all live into this deceptively simple yet radical call. Here are
just a few of the wonderful speakers who will be at our conference: |

I have been particularly honored to watch as many of our key tracks come to life in the conference planning process. We’ll have content on: - Building Places of Belonging
- Belonging Economies
- A Greater Story of We: Bridging to Belonging
- Global Interconnections
- And much more
This may be one of the most consequential years of our lives, and as I look ahead, there is nowhere else I would rather be than with you, building this new world.
I look forward to welcoming you.
