Chain Reaction is for social leaders — people who, regardless of where they work or live or how old they are, see a social problem and do something about it. Their actions then inspire others, and the chain grows. See examples here. Chain Reaction will bring together world leaders with children, business leaders with micro social enterprises, those with power and those whose only power is their own actions. We want to gather 500 people from different places — government, business and the community — from around the world. We also want to include people of all ages. At least another 500 people will take part virtually.
The first Chain Reaction event will take place on London's South Bank. The nerve centre will be in the Room by the River, an award winning, tented, temporary venue hosted by Coin Street, and additional activities will take place in the celebrated arts facilities of the South Bank, engaging strollers and scaling up the reach and impact of the event.
