Session Description: Entrepreneurship and innovation have the potential power to create fundamental and critical change to our world. Yet, many---and perhaps most---remain marginalized from meaningful and authentic participation. And the revolution will fall short without them as we need to address the world's intractable problems and beckoning opportunities from a host of perspectives. Those of us that are in the system, and have created parts of the system, must embrace radical inclusion to change the system to nail open the doors for participation. In this VC, we will explore the upside of system change, multiple perspectives and what radical steps we must take personally to move in this direction. Calling all changeleaders, changemakers, social innovators, and entrepreneurs, let's join the revolution!
