About the Idealists Forum
The Idealists Forum is an annual gathering dedicated to social innovation. It is more than a conference: it is a growing network of connections and a spiritual home for social innovators.
What We Believe
Social problems remain, while established ways of organizing are losing effectiveness. A new generation of problem-solvers needs to be seen, connected and supported. We believe an in-person gathering is not merely a format; it is where trust, methods and resources can take shape again.
