This year's Social Good Summit is the most globally connected yet, with 65 nations (and counting) taking part in local meetups across the globe.
The meetups will bring together everyone from citizens and doctors to activists and ministers of government to discuss how digital technology can be used to make the world a brighter place by the year 2030.
The 2015 Social Good Summit will coincide with the United Nations' ratification of its proposed 17 Sustainable Development Goals. More than 7 million people from around the world voted for the goals, making the international meetups a symbolic "ringing in" of what the U.N. calls "the people's goals."
Jamaica, Surinam, Botswana, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala and Turkmenistan will all be joining the Social Good Summit for the first time ever. Also taking part will be Liberia, epicenter of the recent Ebola breakout.
Other locations include:
Albania
Bosnia Herzegovina
China
Egypt
Germany
Indonesia
Japan
Kenya
Mongolia
Pakistan
Rwanda
Sierra Leone
Sri Lanka
Sudan
Switzerland
Thailand
Turkey
