SwitchPoint is an unusual gathering of global thinkers and doers merging ideas, sharing breakthroughs, and finding solutions to save lives in the developing world. http://www.switchpointideas.com CONFERENCE/RETREAT/CONFERENCE

Come explore how the latest inventions, innovations, entrepreneurial ideas, principles, and change levers can dramatically increase global health equity. You'll hear from people who know how to flip that entrepreneurial switch, getting people across sectors thinking differently about opportunities to create, innovate, and collaborate to save lives and support health and well-being in developing countries.

Speakers work or have worked for industry leaders including GOOD, Google, Red Hat, USAID, Medic Mobile, Development Seed, New Kind, iHub, Ashoka, the Buckminster Fuller Challenge, Intel, and Cisco.

We chose Saxapahaw because of it's unusual nature, its proximity to Research Triangle Park, the Triangle and the Triad. Saxapahaw in itself is a nationally recognized model of unexpected collaboration and partnerships and is redefining the word rural with a renaissance that fuses art, music, farming, food, recreation, education, environmental sustainability and locavore ethics. This tiny community was recently featured in The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Providing a retreat-like atmosphere, Saxapahaw's geographic location allows for riverside lunch sessions and post-conference kayaking breakouts. It is also home to an outdoor amphitheater as well as a state of the art performance space, the award winning Haw River Ballroom (conference and concert venue.) Get to know people who are changing the world. Dress is casual - the conversation won't be.
