ConvergeUS brings together the technology, non-profit, governmental and academic sectors to facilitate and accelerate technology-based social innovation. Support us in helping these converging interests spark new innovation – new strategies, concepts, ideas and coalitions – to meet social needs from early childhood education to assisting military families.

Stay tuned for information on the 2011 ConvergeUS Summit

ConvergeUS Annual Summit: Beginning in the fall of 2011, ConvergeUS will assemble social innovators, entrepreneurs, business leaders, problem-solvers and subject matter experts in a high-level conference to address specific social challenges. The technology sector participants will be recruited into a permanent corps of Innovation Fellows. With its nonprofit partners and the resources committed at the summit, ConvergeUS will create technology blueprints and report the results of these plans at subsequent summits.
