The Synergos Global Gathering (SGG) brings together the Synergos global community and is the annual meeting of the Global Philanthropists Circle.

Rooted in Synergos’ Bridging Leadership approach, the gathering invites participants to reflect deeply, discover new partners, and challenge their assumptions resulting in collective action.


In this time of great disruption and persistent instability, the world needs extraordinary leadership. The 2021 GLOBAL GATHERING aimed to challenge philanthropic leaders to THINK BEYOND and build towards a more collaborative future.

Speakers

The Interactive Convenings included:

Each day, the same session was offered twice, for the convenience of participants around the world, in different time zones. 

Cycle 1 was meant to be catered to participants from Africa, Asia and Europe, while Cycle 2 was meant to be catered to participants from the Americas, Africa and Europe.

Participants joined the cycle that was most convenient to them.
