Phoenix Global Forum

Our Purpose

The Phoenix Global Forum will act as a platform where decision makers, thought leaders and experts in their respective fields convene to discuss society’s evolving needs amidst ongoing global challenges. The forum will examine solutions already in development, both in Phoenix and worldwide, while also fostering future innovation through connection and collaboration.
