Attend the second annual SwitchPoint conference, retreat, and concert and participate in the SwitchPoint Silo Busters Lightning Contest.

Attend the second annual SwitchPoint conference, retreat, and concert at the Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw, North Carolina. Produced by IntraHealth International, this silo-busting event brings together innovators and big thinkers in the fields of technology, media, communications, development, aid, global health, the arts, and business with one goal in mind: to find new ways to spark innovations that will save lives in the developing world.

More than 30 leaders and innovators from over 15 countries will participate in panel discussions, performances, presentations, and networking activities. This year’s two-day format also includes hands-on micro-labs and a large-scale multimedia concert with Paul Miller (aka DJ Spooky) on the opening night.
