Hope Global Forums (The future)

From December 9-12, we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Operation Hope's Global Forum, proudly sponsored by major financial institutions such as Truist Bank, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley, among others. Founded by John Hope Bryant, an influential American entrepreneur and expert in financial inclusion, this annual event gathers an extraordinary assembly of leaders and influencers from various sectors, including federal and state governments, communities, and the private sector. The Global Forum is recognized as one of the largest gatherings in the world dedicated to empowering impoverished and underserved communities. Through collaboration and innovative discussions, attendees aim to create meaningful solutions that foster economic opportunity and uplift one another, continuing the vital work of Operation Hope. You can get in on this event as well, but you must be invited. Everybody can't come so if you get inside consider yourself VIP. This is an event that offers you a chance to get in to learn and network with some of the best around the globe!

This year's speakers includes well known leaders in society such civil rights Icon Ambassador Andrew Young, NFL commissioner Sam Goodell, T.D. Jakes, Michael Milken of Milken Institute, Sarah Friar of Open AI, Robert D. Manfred Jr., commissioner of Major League Baseball, Jabari Young Forbes chief editor and ForbesBlk community leader, Former NFL player Shannon Sharpe, Scott Mills president and CEO of BET Media Group, Jason Kelly Chief Correspondence of Bloomberg, Steve Phelps president of Nascar, Bob Pittman of Iheart Media Inc., Steven A. Smith executive of ESPN First Take, Grammy & Emmy award recipient Michael " Killer Mike" Render, and many others. Attending the forum is a great way to network with likeminded individuals and learn the current financial trends. The theme for the event is "The Future". Sometimes our past can cause for us to feel as if we are not worthy of a brighter future. It may even makes us feel like the future is hopeless. The key to overcoming this type of grief is to develop a plan. Focus on what worked and what didn't work. The goal is to get better as each day passes. It won't be long before our time is up here, so let's focus on empowering our communities to be great while we still have the chance!
