Yesterday (5/30/12), Big Think President and Co-Founder Peter Hopkins moderated a panel at the UN Social Innovation Summit, a private, invitation-only forum that explores “What’s Next?” in the world of Social Innovation.

The all-star panel, titled All Talk and No Action? Conferences and Conversation in Social Innovation, was a “conference about conferences” in which Hopkins and his guests examined the relationship between inspirational speech and meaningful social action. These guests included: 

  • Jean-Pierre Rosso, Chairman – World Economic Forum USA
  • Bruce Gibney, Founder – F50; Co-founder – Founder’s Fund

  • June Cohen, Director – TED Media
