Meet The Slow Lane in Real Life!

In my book, I tried to bring leading Slow Lane practitioners to life. And now, I am inviting you to meet with us in real life at the Ashoka Changemaker Summit from September 5-7, in Hamburg, Germany.

Many of the stories I shared in The Slow Lane are about people in the global Ashoka network: Denisa Livingston, Mark Johnson, Rosanne Haggerty, Dorica Dan, Simon Köhl, and Albina Ruiz are all Ashoka Fellows (as am I!). Judit Costa and Olga Shirobokova are among the many wonderful colleagues of mine at Ashoka that have provided invaluable inspiration and support in developing The Slow Lane.

And now, in September, I invite you to join me and 400+ members of the Ashoka community to meet in Hamburg and connect around the theme that is so central for the ideas of The Slow Lane: True Participation. Because, going slow is to care that others can participate and make a real contribution.

I am glad to share that Ashoka has agreed to offer you, my loved readers, a special discount to attend the Ashoka Changemaker Summit. Instead of the regular EUR 920 per ticket, the first 20 readers can purchase a ticket for EUR 800. At the Summit, you will have the opportunity to connect with me and many of the Slow Lane leaders and supporters like Denisa Livingston, Raul Krauthausen, Rosanne Haggerty, and James Anderson. And get ready to meet over 80 of the world's leading social entrepreneurs and our global community of young changemakers and leaders in business, government, philanthropy, and NGOs who make real change possible, at the speed of trust and true participation.

One more thing: Please contact me, if you would like to get a free ticket for a collaborator who is 25 years or younger or if you are affiliated with a media outlet!

I am excited to see you soon, in real life, in Hamburg!
