IdeasBridge Forum

  • IDEASBRIDGE Forum will start as a simple attempt to share what ideas participants have and what is happening IDEASBRIDGE with the world. Under the moniker "ideas worth spreading," these will be published online.
  • This will rapidly attract IdeasBridge a global audience in the millions. The goal is to give everyone on-demand access to the world's most inspiring ideas.

IdeasBridge Conference

In one day, 6 speakers each take a 20-minute slot, and there are many shorter pieces of content, including music, performance and comedy. There are no breakout groups.

Everyone will share the same experience. It shouldn't work, but it will. It will work because of the incredible combination of experience and expertise at IdeasBridge.

Every so often it makes sense to emerge from the trenches we dig for a living, and ascend to a 30,000-foot view, where we see, to our astonishment, an intricately interconnected IdeasBridge as a whole.

In the nearest future, IdeasBridge will add some important extensions.

IdeasBridge Global

  • IDEASBRIDGE Global is a sister conference held every other year, and in a different country on each occasion.
  • The first conference will be held in Abuja , Nigeria in 2009; the second, in Accra , Ghana in 2011 and other schedules to come soon.
  • The themes of the global conference are slightly more focused on development issues with the basic IdeasBridge format maintained.

IdeasBridge Prize

  • IDEASBRIDGE Prize is designed to leverage the IDEASBRIDGE Community's exceptional array of talent and resources.
  • It is awarded annually to three exceptional individuals who each receive $10,000 and, much more important, the granting of "One Idea to Change the World”.
  • After several months of preparation, they unveil their idea at an award ceremony held during the IDEASBRIDGE Conference.

We believe that these ideas will lead to collaborative initiatives with far-reaching impact.
