PIVOT Summit Register Today!

We are excited to invite you to our 2025 PIVOT Summit, formerly known as the Poverty Innovation Summit! The convening will take place on May 29th at Columbus State Community College Center for Workforce Development beginning at 9:00 am. We would be thrilled to have you participate in this extraordinary day!

The 4th Annual PIVOT Summit builds upon the momentum of the past three years by bringing together community leaders, activists, business professionals, faith leaders, and policymakers to collaborate on solutions that drive equity and economic mobility.

This year’s theme, "Innovating for an Inclusive Future,” challenges us to rethink the systems, policies, and investments needed to create a more just and prosperous society. We recognize that no single solution can eliminate systemic racism or poverty, but through policy, storytelling, and data-driven innovation, we can amplify strategies that build pathways to economic security and prosperity.

2025 Keynote Speaker: Heather McGhee

We are thrilled to welcome Heather McGhee, author of "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together", as our featured keynote speaker. McGhee’s expertise in economic and racial justice will inspire us to reimagine how inclusive innovation can drive collective progress.

This event is free and open to the public.
