Networking the Transformational Ecosystem consists of a number of social enterprises and non-profits (generally 15) giving 3-minute presentations in front of the participants, and then connecting with the participants directly at tables. The organizations present on who they are, what they do, what their needs are, and how you can get involved. Each round of presentations consists of 5 organizations, and rounds are broken up with "tabling/networking" rounds, where each of the presenting organizations tables for 10-15 minutes and receives interested participants who can connect directly with them about engagement opportunities with their organization.

NuMundo has presented this interactive networking event at Bioneers (USA), Lucidity Festival (USA), Boom Festival (Portugal), Envision Festival (Costa Rica), Cosmic Convergence Festival (Guatemala), as well as at co-working spaces internationally. We’re creating a container for emergent conversations, sharing new ideas, and new opportunities for creative collaboration and participation with existing organizations and attendees. This will be an inspiring, engaging and activating networking session for each of the power-house organizations involved and each participant looking for community support, projects to get involved with, or new inspirations to share!
