Planning Chain Reaction 2009

We are delighted to announce that planning is now underway for the national Chain Reaction event 2009

In 2008, the Chain Reaction event brought together social leaders, community activists, policy makers, business leaders, and young people from around the globe to share learning and to generate new ideas for social change, locally, nationally and globally

Attendees at included over 1,000 people from 16 countries, at least 200 of which were aged under 21; community organisations from up and down the country and beyond; artists from Brazil, the Philippines, Croatia, Canada Iceland and Kenya; Social Entrepreneurs, bloggers and techies with new tools to try out; business leaders (among others, CEOs from Royal Mail, BBC, IBM, CBI, BITC, Accenture); and a roll call of Ministers – including a 45 minute visit from the Prime Minister, who made Chain Reaction his next stop after the Economic Summit in Washington. 

Plus, Chain Reaction featured the launch of Global Entrepreneurship Week in the UK, and concluded with a celebration of inspiring people and projects with the Beacon Fellowship Awards.

Shaping Chain Reaction 2009

We are in a very different economic climate than we were in this time in 2008, and we need to reflect these changes in how we plan this years event

We have some ideas on how this can work, but we want to engage the wider Chain Reaction community in discussions on what you want to see happen at Chain Reaction 2009, and share any ideas you may have.
