Overview
OC’s global, in-person unconference for impact leaders is back!
Our 4-day collaborative summits are all-inclusive and uniquely designed to help you forge alliances and advance your organization’s social impact initiatives. WHY JOIN? The entire purpose of Opportunity Collaboration is to connect you with new people and new ideas. Come prepared to share best practices, illuminate partnership opportunities or reveal a current passion or innovative idea. Engage your fellow Delegates with your mission.

TIRED OF ATTENDING TRADITIONAL CONFERENCES? SO ARE WE!
Many Delegates refer to our 4-day business retreats as “un-conferences.”
We turn the traditional conference model upside down!
A restorative leadership campus dedicated to OC with all lodging and food included so Delegates can focus entirely on learning and forging connections.
Absolutely no speeches, panels or PowerPoints
No “sages on stages” in darkened hotel ballrooms.
Professionally facilitated workshops & small-group conversations
Topics selected and curated by our Delegate community.
A focus on building relationships vs. transactions
OC Delegates come away with new friendships, partners, allies and a deeper understanding of the issues and solutions they care most deeply about.
An agenda built from the “bottom up” vs the “top down”
Each of our Delegates can convene a conversation on the topic most important to them and their work, illuminating opportunities and sharing challenges to engage their fellow Delegates in complex discussions about all aspects of economic development and social justice.
About Us
Opportunity Collaboration annually convenes 400 global leaders building sustainable solutions to poverty. We engage social entrepreneurs, innovative nonprofit executives, grant-makers, impact investors, corporate & academic field-leaders, and aligned media working around the world to solve common challenges and spark new opportunities.
Predicated on the powerful idea that out of fragmentation can come collaboration, from diversity can come unity, and from cross-fertilization can come innovation: the power of collaboration does not presume a single outcome. Rather, it draws its power from the conviction that people of good will forge their own solutions, directions and alliances, and uncover new ways to combine and leverage resources.
We partner with colleagues we trust, whose values we share, when common objectives translate in ego-free zones.
