On May 21, we’re launching our new Forbes Opportunity Zones Summit in Newark, New Jersey. The theme is Investing for Impact and Forbes is gathering the top money managers, investors, family offices, government leaders, policy experts, OZ fund founders and entrepreneurs for the can’t-miss investment summit of the year.
Convening at the historic Newark Museum, it will be an amazing day of must-hear experts, enlightening round tables, deep dive workshops, and unmatched networking with the top leaders driving the OZ ecosystem and forging a new era of responsible capitalism. Please apply here to reserve your spot.Forbes thrilled to be creating the summit with our Policy Partner the Economic Innovation Group (EIG), led by Co-Founder & Chairman, Sean Parker and Co-Founder & CEO, John Lettieri. It’s the first time that EIG, the chief architects of the Opportunity Zones policy, has teamed with a national media partner to build an expert event around Opportunity Zones. The result? A dynamic summit of unmatched authority, influence and bold community impact. Much misinformation and uncertainty surrounds Opportunity Zones—Forbes is assembling all the experts to give you clarity on policy and strategy.
We are going well beyond Opportunity Zone 101. Far from dull and wonky, the Forbes OZ Summit will deliver must-hear updates on new OZ regulations, compelling strategies and game-changing stories from the brightest minds in finance, policy and government. It’s an investment conference that will deliver the key players, exclusive content and top-level networking needed to drive life-changing gains and bold, lasting impact on America’s long overlooked communities.
The Forbes Opportunity Zones Summit was born out of a feature I wrote in June about the powerful, bipartisan law and the unlikely group behind it. Dubbing it “The Most Unbelievable Tax Break Ever” the story profiled the motley bunch of billionaire entrepreneurs and bold politicians who created, pushed and passed the innovative policy. Entrepreneurs like Facebook’s first president and Napster founder Sean Parker, AOL founder Steve Case, impact investor Jim Sorenson and creative politicians like Senator (and presidential candidate) Cory Booker, Senator Tim Scott and Stockton, California’s dynamic, young mayor Michael Tubbs.
