Since its inception in 2006, the ROI Community has garnered an international reputation for the quality and impact of its in-person gatherings. Despite technological advances that enable instant communication and collaboration across geographic divides, ROI understands that there is no substitute for face-to-face encounters. The Summit, ROI’s flagship program held in Israel each year, gathers Community members to dream big, network intensely, and learn a great deal from a cohort of talented peers. ROI has also complemented the ROI Summit with a series of staff-led regional gatherings across the world in an effort to scale the breadth and impact of its members. ROI is now thrilled to roll out the next phase of its in-person engagements with the launch of ROI Connection Points. Through this program, the "ROI Connectors" will be trained to design and implement their own dream gatherings or Connection Points.

ROI Connection Points:

ROI Connection Points are radical experiments in growing the ROI Community to the far reaches of the world - to connect more innovators, and to seed new ideas, deeper networks and visionary change initiatives. Connectors (the ROI Community members responsible for the gatherings) participate in two trainings and receive regular support from the ROI Community in the design and implementation of their gatherings.

The eight pilot ROI Connection Points will take place in Winter 2012 and Spring 2013 and will span four continents.

For specific questions regarding an ROI Connection Point, please contact the ROI member organizing it directly. General questions about the Connector program can be directed to Jen@roicommunity.org.
