See Change Sessions Annual Flagship Gathering brings together hundreds of leaders from business, academia, technology, investing, and the arts to accelerate solutions that can improve our world.
Set in Burlington, Vermont's buzzing South End Arts & Innovation District, you’ll spend two days with a carefully curated group in working sessions thinking together, testing ideas, and learning from new friends and colleagues that you didn’t know you needed in your corner. You’ll build real relationships that lead to meaningful work long after the sessions end. You'll dive deep into new innovations and ideas for your industry, uncovering new ways to work and think along the way. And it’s very likely that you'll have fun, too (...maybe keep that last one from the boss?).

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS...
The Tracks
Each track focuses on one high-impact topic. Choose your track and join a dedicated working group for two days of expert-led, collaborative sessions that bring together diverse perspectives to unlock new ways of thinking about the topic at hand. Between the work, your group recharges through shared meals and creative experiences to make space for reflection and connection.
The Commons
The commons are where all tracks connect to exchange ideas and cross-pollinate interdisciplinary insights. Hundreds of Adventurous Minds unite for plenaries, concerts, storytelling sessions, shared meals, and authentic human connection. Beyond the programs, we leave ample space for the unscripted and spontaneous moments that can matter most.
Step 1: Pick the track that best fits your passion and skills.
Step 2: Submit the “Express Interest” form for your selected track.
Step 3: Within 30 days, you’ll receive an update on your submission.
Tracks are intentionally kept small to create a more meaningful experience, so placements are based on availability and alignment with each track’s focus. If a track isn’t available for any reason, we’ll share waitlist options and keep you in the loop on future opportunities.
Registration details and pricing vary by track. If you’re selected to register, we’ll share all the information you need at that time. If registration cost is a barrier, we offer a limited number of scholarships. To be considered for a scholarship, please express interest early and we’ll follow up with any available options.
