Join the PKG Public Service Center on Sunday, April 24th, from 1-3PM EST to celebrate the MIT IDEAS Social Innovation Challenge 2022 Finalist Cohort and the community of collaborators who make it all possible.

This year's 15-team cohort comprises projects across seven sectors and six countries. Each finalist receives $1,000 seed grant and six teams will be awarded additional grants totaling more than $50,000. This is where ideas come to life!

This is one of the best chances to hear many ideas that have the potential to make substantial impact around the world. Lunch will be available. This event is dedicated to the late PKG Public Service Center co-founder, Dr. Shirley McBay. This event will feature musical performances by local artists via the Boston Arts and Music Festival (BAMSFest). The keynote speaker will be Malia Lazu, CEO & Founder of the Lazu Group and Lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management.

Vote for your favorite team! If you have not already done so, check out the finalists’ projects and vote for their favorites for consideration of two $2,500 crowd favorite awards! Voting is open through Saturday, April 23 at 1pm ET: bit.ly/IDEASshowcase22
