View Highlights From 2025!

Join the Conversation!

In November of 2023, The Scott Center for Social Entrepreneurship invited a group of incredible leaders to the stage - technologists, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and innovators - to talk about imagination in action, and the powerful things that happen when dreaming meets doing.

In January 2025, Conversations for Good returns with "The Future of Wellbeing," a dynamic evening of talks, panels, and presentations on how wellbeing influences - and is influenced by - almost everything we do, and how our collective future depends upon the wellness of now. We'll explore the innovations, challenges, and growth edges in health - and how wellbeing itself depends on connectedness and community.

Conversation for Good isn't just an inspiring evening, but a chance to make a difference in the world of social impact education - your tickets, donations, and sponsorships fund the Scott Center's ongoing research and development, expanding our impact for students in the South Bay.
