A curated gathering of 200 cross-sector leaders will join this invitation-only forum, which will culminate in a plenary session. This plenary session will issue a Call to Action to all 1,000+ expected Concordia Summit attendees on the need to combine efforts and partner across sectors to provide tangible solutions for forced migration.
