Lennox joins CNN founder Ted Turner, (RED) CEO Susan Smith Ellis, and a host of thought leaders for a groundbreaking conference at the intersection of digital media and philanthropy.
The Social Good Summit, one of the few public events being held during UN Week, is all about solutions. Every speaker will explain how digital media and innovative ideas can combine to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the UN's framework for creating a safer and healthier world for us all. With a 900-strong live audience, global livestream and national media partners, we'll share these solutions with the goal of encouraging even more.
We're also pleased to announce that a livestreaming partnership with Livestream.com will ensure that the talks are available in real-time to a global audience.
