Behind every breakout session is a thoughtful process to deliver the content you care about most.

Breakout sessions are at the heart of the Just Economy Conference, and their success wouldn’t be possible without thoughtful planning. To ensure we continue delivering the highest standards of content, we established the Program Committee, a dedicated group of leaders who evaluate proposals and guide the agenda for the upcoming year.
