Join Philanthropic Futurist, Trista Harris for knowONE. This is a highly curated convening brings together top experts in exponential technology on Sir Richard Branson’s private island retreat.
This normally closed network of artists, entrepreneurs and futurists has asked Trista to expand their connection into the philanthropic sector. With just a few dozen participants and a delegation of five foundation leaders, knowONE will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to expose your foundation to ideas and trends that will transform how you think about your grantmaking.
Trista attended and spoke at the 2016 conference which was held on Necker Island and described it as " a transformative learning experience about future trends that will impact the world." This year's convening brings together performance art, exponential technology, and cultural ways of knowing. The event is December 15-18, 2024.
