Join us in Los Angeles on July 16, 2026 for The Convening: Tri-Sector Innovation, an action-oriented, cross-sector gathering designed to turn shared priorities into shared progress. Hosted by LMU College of Business Administration in partnership with the World Trade Center Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, The Convening brings together government leaders, corporate executives, educators, NGOs/nonprofits, and members of the diplomatic corps for a high-trust day of dialogue, design, and doable next steps on issues related to sustainability.
Why You Should Attend
The Convening is built for collaboration and post-event action - with firestarter-style inspiration, facilitated roundtables, report-outs, and action agendas focused on sustainability and societal impact. You’ll leave with a sharper shared language, concrete tools, and new partnerships that help your organization move faster—together—on the issues we all care about.
Insights and outcomes will be graphically recorded in both pictures and words, providing a unique experience for cross-sector leaders to engage in active learning.
