“I love that [the Summit] has shrunk down to a smaller community where over three days, you can really connect with every single person. The feeling of support is very palpable on an emotional level.”

“Being here at the summit has been a good reminder that there are people who want to do positive things and we just gotta get together and work together.”

—Dana

Taylor Director, Impact Strategy, Sorenson Impact Center

—Michael Hokenson Cofounder, Community Investment Management

“The Sorenson Impact Summit has been the most substantive impact investing event I’ve ever attended. The energy and the dynamism and the accomplishments of those in the room, it’s really been humbling just to be part of it.”

“The thing I’ve been most thrilled about and didn’t really expect is that ... the panels tend to be pretty high level... our panel and all the other ones I’ve been attending actually have substance.”

—Jack Moriarty Ownership America Founder & Executive Director

—Priya Parrish Chief Investment Officer, Impact Engine

ELEVATING IMPACT FOR A REGENERATIVE FUTURE ELEVATING IMPACT FOR A REGENERATIVE FUTURE

As we continue to tackle the world’s greatest challenges, it’s time to also start thinking beyond a net-zero mindset toward creating a future of truly regenerative, equitable, and thriving ecosystems for people and our planet. While we invest in urgent environmental and social solutions today, what can regeneration in finance, education, agriculture, real estate, healthcare, the workplace, or energy look like tomorrow? How can we build prosperous and empowered communities that create and continuously invest in a world in which we all want to live?

Once a year, the Sorenson Impact Group gathers a curated group of global impact leaders, innovators, and practitioners high in the mountains of Utah to find solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, this gathering is

carefully designed to eliminate clutter and reduce distractions, directing the collective attention of the most exceptional minds in impact. Together, we work to inspire and put into action paradigmshifting ideas that can help move us from simply sustaining to truly thriving.

Our goal is to expand the marketplace for impact solutions and truly achieve impact’s original promise of an equitable and prosperous future for people and the planet.

With a unique design centered on guests as speakers and participants, specific topics will derive from the work, the vision, and the inspiring innovations of the people and expertise in the room. As a group, we aim to inspire outcomes that move us well beyond the status quo of impact, beyond ESG, beyond even achieving the UN SDGs.

Join us June 5-8, 2024 for this game-changing retreat where we will dream big, think differently, and connect with nature and each other.

“How do we create an economic system that actually develops inherent assets? We have to change our language. We talk about human resources and natural resources. We talk about money as if it is an asset. It’s exactly the wrong way around. Money is a resource that should be deployed in the proper development of our assets. Communities contain our assets.”

—Zita Cobb

Founder and CEO of Shorefast

“What an amazing time digging into new collaborations this week through the Sorenson Impact Summit at Snowbird alongside impact leaders Charlotte Dales, Thibault Duchemin, Maayan Ziv, Courtney English. Van Jones reminded us that people are defying odds daily in coming together to tackle global challenges. Stephen Gyllenhaal shared his new documentary “Uncharitable” to reframe impact in light of operational and people costs. Eric M. Rice from BlackRock emphasized that ESG investing is really just fiduciary duty. New friends Jenna Anita Nicholas helped me figure out this yoga thing with Rochelle Haynes showing me the ropes on the slopes. Counting the days to next year!”

—Kevin Christopher Founder and Principal of Rockridge Venture Law

“If you understand what’s happening in a community, you can make change happen. There are diamonds in the asphalt if you know where to look.”

—Van Jones Media Personality and Entrepreneur

“Just returned home from attending the Sorenson Impact summit in Utah surrounded by and building with leaders committed to using their powers for good in an effort to create a more equitable and just world for all. One of my most fulfilling and challenging jobs is being a father. I’ve reflected on the question from Van Jones during his speech:

What will be your legacy?

Will we leave our children a better planet than we received?”

—Bryce Fluellen Executive Director, Social Equity Franchise & Philanthropy

“If you

were

to

say:

‘Do

care about impact?’

you like

everybody

impact?

Do you

in this room would say ‘Of course, yes, it’s a top priority.’ But when you ask ‘How much are you willing to pay for it relative to other things, those answers start to change pretty dramatically.”

—Dan Schulman PayPal CEO

“Coming back energized after an inspiring three days with the Sorenson Impact Center in Utah, a gathering of 200 thought-leading impact investors, NGOs, foundations, and social entrepreneurs dedicated to a mission of making the world more sustainable. It was a privilege to be invited to share the stage with Geoff Davis, the CEO of Sorenson Impact Institute, and be interviewed by the always insightful Imogen Rose-Smith.

A truly inspiring week. Thank you to Sorenson Impact and all the passionate people there.”

—Robert Brown Founder Atlas Impact Partners

Uncharitable Q&a WI th d I rector stephen g yllenhaal

“The theaters in this country are a place where people can gather... And I think ... that this film can bring people back together again in theaters. It can also bring the right and the left back together again because charity is non-partisan.”

—Stephen Gyllenhall Impact Filmaker and Producer

“I think it would be hard to improve upon this year’s event! I especially appreciated the calibre of speakers and networking opportunities.”

—Terrence Keeley Chairman and CIO, 1PointSix LLC
