Converge Summit 25 - Mapping Impact

Join us for the Converge Summit 25, a transformative weekend dedicated to exploring the power of storytelling, art, and community in understanding and advancing impact in Black communities.

This event centers on key themes that recognize storytelling as a fundamental tool for experiencing how impact is lived and felt—highlighting that mapping impact through storytelling is more than just a method, but a practice of community agency and self-determination. We believe understanding impact requires more than observation; it demands listening to Black voices and valuing Black ways of seeing and knowing. Black voices are not an add-on in impact work—they are the source, the guide, and the essential force driving meaningful change.

The summit features a variety of notable offerings, including engaging panel discussions with Black thought leaders and community change-makers, and a powerful storytelling art exhibition showcasing Black entrepreneurs making impact in our community.

Saturday night will culminate in a lively block party celebrating Black culture and community. Throughout the weekend, attendees can participate in interactive workshops and experience dynamic art exhibitions designed to elevate Black voices and stories.

This gathering is more than an event—it is a movement to center Black voices, honor impact as lived experience, and foster authentic connections.

Join us in reshaping how impact is understood, measured, and celebrated.
