Four ways the board steers Beyond Now
What the board does
01Shape the lineupMembers tell us which founders, creators, athletes and executives students want to hear from, and which topics matter most in their schools.
02Test every experienceBefore a new Pop-Up or Residency goes live, board members walk through it and tell us what works and what to sharpen.
03Hold the standardAfter every Summit, the board reviews the day with our team, from check-in to the last session, so the next one is better.
04Bring it homeMembers share Beyond Now in their schools and communities and help us plan events close to where students live.
