BTNW 2020: An International Summit of Epic Proportions!
Let's move from Fragmentation to Holism … and fast!
Many people believe it is no longer feasible to reform our institutions, due to political corruption, corporate greed, and cultural decay. Rather than waste time attempting to rehabilitate our broken institutions, this conference will focus on a complete transformation of interconnected systems - in every Sector of Society.
We believe that in order to Build the New World, humanity must quickly shift from:
- Imperialism to Social Democracy
- Materialism to Altruism
- A global War System to a worldwide Culture of PeaceUnsustainable Environmental Destruction to Resilient Organic Networks, and
- Religious Separation to the redeeming state of Spiritual Unity.
Wisdom and Takeaways from BTNW 2020
For seven weeks, Futurists and Social Architects in every Sector of Society presented visionary content, concluding with expert Round Tables. Attendees from around the world networked and were empowered to help manifest the New World we seek - a world that works for EVERYONE. A BTNW 2020 "reunion" was held in January 2021, resulting in even more brainstorming. Then on February 1, 2021, all the archived BTNW 2020 content was released to the public - in honor of World Interfaith Harmony Week.
