Full Circle Fund is excited to announce our partnership as a sponsor of Momentum 2009. This three-day gathering brings together a group of 300 dynamic participants comprised of forward-thinking activists, philanthropists and social entrepreneurs. According to Tides, the presenting organization, “The issues that face society today defy simple solutions. Only by understanding how our issues and work are interconnected can we hope to create the change that is needed for a healthy, just and vibrant world.”

Momentum is more than a conference – it is a creative space, an opportunity for connection, and a place where boundaries are broken and bridges are built. At Momentum, the best new thinking will provoke conversation, invite debate, and inspire leaders to view their work through new lenses all the while forging dynamic new relationships.

Momentum 2009 offers seven plenaries where innovative perspectives and ideas take center stage. Capital, Rights, Carbon, Power, Conflict, Work, and Connections are the themes of this year’s plenaries. Intentionally not all-encompassing, the plenaries provide a broad framework in which speakers share their passion for new approaches to familiar problems, giving their most intriguing presentations in just 20 minutes. The fast-paced plenaries are sure to leave participants with new questions and ideas. Additionally, Momentum 2009 presents one Evening Program and two Morning Briefings where we dedicate an hour for interview, conversation, and analysis of some of today’s hottest topics.

Also adding, well, momentum to the event is “The Colbert Challenge”, Momentum 2009’s campaign daring talk show host Stephen Colbert to attend. Sign the petition today!
