WATCH: Social Good Summit 2011 [LIVE VIDEO]

Mashable, 92Y and the UN Foundation are thrilled to kick off the second annual Social Good Summit. The event is held in New York City during UN Week, starting today and running through Thursday. It's where big ideas meet new media to create innovative solutions for global issues. Last year's Social Good Summit was a huge success, and we're excited for the conversations that will happen this year.

The Social Good Summit will unite a dynamic community of global leaders to discuss how innovation and technology can make the world a better place. For four days, a sold-out crowd of 3,000 will attend the event in person, and thousands more around the world will tune in online.

Join us by watching the live stream of the summit above. You can find today's itinerary below.
