On Saturday, March 21, 2026, we will meet with previous speakers and participants to discuss how we can improve the Global Meeting on Equinox in the future.
There will be two meetings: Globe East and Globe West.
The Global Meeting on Equinox is a global conversation in March and September each year about what it means to be human and how we can create a future where everybody can thrive.
In September, we will be back with a full day event and do our full online tour around the globe.
