P R O G R A M M I N GThroughout the year, Concordia presents diverse programming to inspire
conversation and spark collaboration. From our annual Summit, to private research
briefings, to our year round engagement opportunities, our programming aims to
connect Concordia members with social innovators while encouraging participation
and contribution beyond our events.
P A R T N E R S H I P I N D E XThe Concordia Partnership Index was developed as a tool for public, private, and
nonprofit organizations to evaluate partnership opportunities. The Index ranks
countries based on their readiness and need to engage in public-private partnerships
(P3s). The inclusion of the need indicators sets the Index apart from other indices
that measure P3 environments. While the success of a P3 depends on a country’s
political and market structures, the Index recognizes that for a P3 to be truly
impactful it must address a large-scale need.
C A M P A I G N SA Concordia Campaign is a topic-driven effort where we narrow our programmatic,
research, and networking focus. Each campaign will consist of a two to five-year
commitment from Concordia that advances a specific cause. By establishing a
private sector, a public sector, a nonprofit and an academic partner, each campaign
employs the Concordia platform to drive focus and attention around an issue.

Since 2011, the Concordia Summit has been convening the world’s most prominent
business, government, and nonprofit leaders to build effective partnerships for im-
pact. The annual conference takes place in New York City and serves as a global af-
fairs forum, where thought-leaders and innovators gather to examine the world’s most
pressing challenges. Through our cross-sector panel discussions, interviews with
prominent world leaders, and topic-specific breakout sessions, participants are able
to both learn from industry experts and explore solutions with potential partners.

O F F I C E H O U R SIn 2014, Concordia launched our Summit Office Hours a series of exclusive, closed-door
meetings that allowed our Summit attendees to engage on a more intimate level with

speakers. These private conversations, limited to groups of 5-10 individuals, offer a unique
opportunity for our members to receive insight from some of the foremost thought leaders
working to promote public-private partnerships today.
R O U N D T A B L E D I S C U S S I O N SConcordia Roundtables are member exclusive discussion groups curated by Concordia that
allow participants to interact and problem-solve with leading experts in the field, coming
out with tangible next steps and ideas for future collaborations. These more narrowed
conversations allow our speakers and members to delve deeper into timely topics and
emerge from each meeting equipped to face the world’s greatest challenges.
