How can we create a better future for everyone, together?
On Sept. 9, leaders in government, business, academia and civil society will join me and other HP colleagues in an online forum to address this question at the first global HP Living Progress Exchange.
This text-based discussion follows a format similar to our first live HP Living Progress Exchange, held at the Sustainable Brands Conference in San Diego in June. By using the power of technology, we can now open the dialogue to the global community.
With three focused topic areas — human, economic and environmental progress — running in two sessions throughout the day, participants from around the world can join the conversation with experts and opinion leaders. The forum is hosted by HP and facilitated by the consultancy leaders at GlobeScan.
The sessions are designed to create an environment where we can learn from each other, inspire new ideas and share best practices. It’s one way people and technology can come together to help solve the world’s toughest challenges.
In each discussion we will draw on the expertise and opinions of esteemed participants in an open exchange and showcase ideas from around the world. We will look to uncover new approaches to making progress in areas of the economy, society and environment, and explore new mechanisms of collaboration to help drive progress. And, we’ll be looking for new ways we can explore and identify the potential for new types of partnerships between HP and others.
