“Innovation for Impact,” is a two-day conference which focuses on creating cross-sector solutions to long-standing social issues. Philanthropy in Motion (PIM) and Yale Center Beijing proudly invite you to come hear from over 25 thought-leaders and practitioners at the nexus of philanthropy, technology, government, and the private sector.
