Past TBN Asia Conferences
TBN Asia Bali Conference 2023
COLLABORATION FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE - Bali, Indonesia | 7-9 September 2023
Is collaboration the key to a sustainable future? Perhaps a better question is: Can a sustainable future be paved by only one entity? To recreate our future, and to keep improving it for future generations, we need to work together. The synergy forged from these interactions brings about an innovation that rises above the boundaries of ourselves, and culminates in greater impact. People frequently talk about moving the needle, let’s elevate it!
At TBN, we bring together founders and funders for a meeting of the minds. What makes TBN special is our two unique pillars - interfaith collaboration and transformational leadership.
Alone we are smart, and together, we are brilliant. And who doesn’t want to be brilliant?
