About the summit

Friday's VIP Gala is a 300-guest dinner featuring Michelin-starred celebrity sushi chefs performing two live tuna carvings, a keynote, and a live auction.

Saturday's Forum for 500 is a full day featuring seven TRIIBE Talks pairing our Fellows with peers over 30, a supercar street takeover, and a fashion show.

Sunday’s cohort-only workshop pairs our founders with guest artists and musicians for media training with Alethos, followed by a Michelin-starred lunch to close the Summit.

Documentaries on each nonprofit and the TRIIBE Anthem music video, recorded in TRIIBE fashion by five musicians over 30 and five under 30, release in November two weeks before Giving Tuesday.
