Virtual Realities

Community foundations are asked to tackle complex multi-sector social issues on a daily basis. What can we learn about how to think and solve these issues in a more creative way and how to harness not-your-typical-resources to solve them? Think outside the box with the leadership of Singularity University, an interdisciplinary university whose mission is to assemble, educate, and inspire leaders to better understand how exponentially advancing technologies (such as biotechnology, supercomputing, nanotechnology, robotics, and communications technologies) can address humanity's grand challenges.

Presenters: Salim Ismail, executive director, Singularity University, Jeff Clarke, interim president and CEO, Council on Foundations, and Tully M. Friedman, chairman and CEO, Friedman Fleischer & Lowe
