2017 Future of Wealth Summit – Washington, DC

“The 2017 Future of Wealth Summit: Technology, Inclusion and Social Change” will be hosted by the Center for Global Policy Solutions on April 26-28, 2017. Nearly three dozen diverse experts will discuss how technology can foster convenient access to critical information and services without reinforcing bias, narrowing choices, and undermining privacy.

Speakers and guests will include Jesse Williams, actor, activist, and co-founder of the startup mobile app Ebroji; Star Jones, a noted television personality and attorney who heads the National Association of Professional Women and Professional Diversity Network; U.S. Reps. Greg Meeks (NY-5th) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30th); and Panama Jackson, co-founder of the popular VerySmartBrothas.com blog.

The Summit will feature the “Inclusion Revolution Innovation Competition,” where four tech innovators, including a Baltimore-area high school senior, will vie for a $10,000 prize to fund his or her technology-based plan to uplift historically marginalized communities. Other special events include an award’s luncheon honoring notables who have worked to bridge the digital divide and a special screening of the acclaimed documentary “Against All Odds: The Fight for a Black Middle Class.”
