2024 Concordia Annual Summit FAQs
Event Information
The 2024 Concordia Annual Summit is taking place from Monday, September 23 - Wednesday, September 25 at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel in New York City.
Concordia's signature event, the Annual Summit offers the largest and most inclusive nonpartisan gathering alongside the UN General Assembly. The Summit convenes presidents, prime ministers, CEOs, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, activists, and change makers to address the world's most pressing challenges through the lens of public-private sector collaboration. Programming formats range from panel discussions and one-on-one interviews to smaller roundtables and breakout sessions. Private meetings and receptions support further connection towards positive social impact.
