Look out for more speakers who have been added to the programme on the Chain Reaction website.
We are excited to be launching the programme for the first Chain Reaction event today… and we’re delighted with the great mix of influential figures from business, government and the third sector who have become part of the first event. Chain Reaction is a new initiative bringing together community activists, policy makers, businesses leaders and young people in a movement for social change.
Among those involved are Mark Thompson, Director General of the BBC, Tim Smit founder of the Eden Project, Virgin’s Sir Richard Branson, John Bird founder of the Big Issue and Jane Tewson, co-founder of Comic Relief.

The first Chain Reaction event will take place from 17-18 November 2008 on London’s South Bank and will bring together 500 delegates from all sectors, from the UK and abroad, at least 100 of whom will be under 25 years old, connecting people in groups that challenge stereotypes: Those with power will meet those whose only power is their own actions; world leaders will work with children; business leaders with micro-enterprises. Every delegate will learn how social leaders can use their individual and collective actions, and the event will result in 25 new ideas for social action, locally and globally.
