Artificial intelligence, blockchain, the ownership of data, and agile leadership are just four of the many trends impacting society.  But what do these trends mean for the world of doing good, and why do they matter for those of us leading community change efforts?  Join Vinod, CEO and Publisher of Future of Good, and Liz in a lively discussion about how changemakers need to be aware of and prepared for how these trends will impact how we work and connect.
