Previous Events

The Agility Impact community is holding their first Virtual Conference to build awareness and impact on Planetary Challenges with Agility. The planet is calling for our help and now more than ever we need a human centric approach, a “we” approach to these complex challenges, such as social, environmental, economic and so much more.
