Toniic Annual Global Gathering 2016

What unites us?

(Over Tea and Crumpets...)

Dear Toniic Members,

We invite you to join us in olde England for this year’s Annual Global Gathering, October 5th-7th, 2016, a time to both reflect and look forward, while enjoying a traditional taste of British culture at the beautiful Down Hall Country House Hotel just 45 minutes outside of London!

ABOUT THE EVENT

Toniic members hail from 27 different countries. We have widely differing impact investment themes, from carbon reduction to education to women's empowerment to many other pressing societal problems. Some of us are individuals, others foundations, and still others institutions, and our portfolios vary dramatically in size. Some of us are focused on early stage, others on the impact of our entire portfolio.

At this year's Annual Global Gathering, we will explore what unites us? Come share your passions, challenges and learnings with some of the most engaged impact investors on earth!

In true Toniic style and as a nod to our locale, we’ll enjoy plenty of banter and the odd bit of humour (with a “u”) throughout our time together.

What members say about last year's gathering:

"Excellent format...It encourages more interaction on a personal level and a no-sale attitude that leads to a spirit of family gathering retreat away from the classic conference."

"I feel that I've walked away with not just learnings but also friendships."

"Excellent content - deep/varied/high quality, gave insights which we can use in practice."

ABOUT THE VENUE

Dating back to 1322 (old even by British standards!) this impressive mansion in an historic setting features luxury interiors, ornate ceilings and an abundance of natural daylight (although we can't count on the English weather). In this serene setting, we will experience the best of English hospitality while reconnecting with each other and engaging purposefully on the future of impact investing - in our own portfolios and the wider financial ecosystem.
