About this Event
Turn connection into progress.
The Sidereal Summit is a global convening on business leadership, technology, and social enterprise. Our inaugural gathering brings this community together at the United Nations in New York City for an afternoon of connection, dialogue, and the recognition of leaders whose work moves the world forward.
Convening figures from business, technology, and the social sector, we create the room where influential leaders build relationships and advance solutions to the challenges that matter most, from responsible technology to enterprise built for the common good.
The afternoon
The Summit is a single afternoon, structured in four movements.
01. Networking reception. Arrival and introductions over cocktails. The connections that make the rest of the afternoon work are made here first.
02. Lunch. Seated, and seated deliberately. Placement is part of the design.
03. Panel discussion. A moderated exchange across business leadership, technology, and social enterprise, addressing the questions that sit at the intersection of all three.
04. Awards ceremony. The close of the afternoon, and its centerpiece. Sidereal Laureates are recognized for contributions already made.
Who attends
Senior leaders from business, technology, and the social sector: founders, executives, investors, and change-makers whose decisions carry beyond their own organizations. Attendance is by registration and invitation.
The Sidereal Prize
The Summit closes with the conferral of the Sidereal Prize, which recognizes individuals whose work has advanced business leadership, technology, or social enterprise in ways that extend beyond their own organization, and whose contribution is already evident in the field.
It is conferred on merit. It is not sold, and it cannot be applied for by payment of any fee. Honorees are selected by Sidereal Summit, independently of sponsorship, attendance, and any financial relationship with the Summit or its partners. The inaugural Sidereal Laureates will be announced ahead of the Summit.
