What to expect?
Since we believe the mission is paramount,
then we take risks and share resources (funding, IP, templates, time) with one another.
Since we are innovators and technologists,
then most attendees are for‑profit companies.
Since money should produce outcomes,
then our on‑stage asks focus on outputs (tech to build, customers to meet, audiences to reach).
Since deep relationships drive change,
then membership is limited to leaders who actively contribute and uphold our vision and values.
Since excellence matters,
then we prepare, show up, and follow through on introductions and commitments.
Since trafficking is multi‑faceted,
then we organize into Solution Groups around clear theories of change and everyone joins at least one.
Since we build others up,
then we communicate with respect even when we disagree.
Since sustainability fuels impact,
then we pay for events, donate to Clapham, and many members pledge 1% of exit proceeds or 10% of new Clapham‑derived revenue.
