Gathering Opening
Throughout the last two years, community building efforts have been challenged, pushed to extremes, and change has been happening at a rapid rate. For people working to improve our communities and tackle complex problems, our shared purpose and vision is a source of hope. There is joy in connection, in participating in movements, in mutual care, and in seeing transformation.
The Gathering opening will serve as the first time in three years that attendees will be together in person, seeing sector colleagues and friends for the first time since the pandemic. We hope to capture this feeling of reunion, fun, and anticipation and use it to further explore the theme of joy in our work.
