When You Shoot For The Moon, Great Things Can Happen
Something magical is about to happen in Washington D.C. Join us on June 09, 2022 for an extraordinary event featuring ideas worth spreading.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy announced the start of the American moonshot, when he famously remarked “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”
Many doubted that America would be able to achieve such an ambitious goal in such a short time frame, but through bold innovation and perseverance in the face of obstacles, we went from small steps to giant leaps and achieved the impossible.
Join us on June 09, 2022 for a full day of self-discovery where you will be inspired by exciting speakers and amazing performances. You’ll encounter new ideas, learn about modern-day moonshots, and engage in meaningful dialogue with a like-minded community of curious souls.
WHY ATTEND THIS EVENT?
Be inspired by ideas worth spreading
To shoot for the moon takes effort and determination. It is a chance to begin again: to imagine new possibilities, think outside the box, and disrupt the status quo. When you believe you can achieve a moonshot, you’re able to have hope in a brighter future and the will to create it because everything seems possible!
Inspiration
Big ideas can change the world. Join us to witness inspiring speakers and amazing performers sharing world-changing ideas.
Connection
Our community is rooted in Washington, DC and has grown to include a global audience of curious thinkers, creators, and activists connected by our app.

Meet the Speakers
