Media Advisory | Limitless 2022: World Vision’s First Asia Summit for Corporate Good
World Vision is organising a regional virtual summit ‘Limitless 2020’ to reflect on how corporations across Asia-Pacific can lead sustainable change for children.
The theme for the summit, ‘Crisis to Hope’, will rally around the impact that strategic partnerships with corporations can make to positively impact children and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
The Summit is scheduled to be held on August 2nd and 3rd, between 1000 hrs and 1400 hrs SGT.
Almost 400 corporations, partners and NGOs will come together at Limitless 2022 to exchange views and agree on concrete steps they can take to address issues facing children across the Asia Pacific.
