Social Good Summit 2014 marked the fifth annual congregation of some of the world's brightest minds in the social good space.

While the event takes place in New York City, the conversations on social media extend the event to a global audience.

Thousands of people joined the #2030NOW discussions on Sept. 21 and 22 to contribute, connect and debate topics such as the proliferation of technology, global education opportunities, climate change and much more.

Mashable curated some of the most thought-provoking conversations and social media commentary, provided via RebelMouse, below. Thought leaders who attended the Summit also participated in Facebook Q&A's about social good with their fans.
