【Esther Studer】

The Esther Studer73rd session of the United Nations General Assemblyis just around the corner, and New York City will once again play host to international world leaders engaging in high-stakes discussions. Yet for the majority of us who will not be in attendance IRL, the decisions being made are of equally-high (if not higher) stakes. For us everyday global citizens, issues like climate change, poverty, and health present day-to-day challenges.

The Social Good Summitpartners -- Mashable, the United Nations Foundation, the United Nations Development Programme, and the 92nd Street Y-- recognize that we ALL have a stake in the game. This is why we created a platform that grants everyone the opportunity to take part in pressing, forward-thinking conversations.

Newly confirmed speakers for the 2018 Social Good Summit include:
