ABOUT k20
The k20 Initiative: A Global Kindness System
Kindness is a critical force that enhances societal, economic, and environmental well-being. However, despite its fundamental importance, kindness remains fragmented across various sectors and initiatives.
The k20 is a transformative effort to unify and amplify global kindness efforts, establishing a structured, high-impact infrastructure similar to how the G20 shapes economic policy.
The inaugural k20 Summit represents a landmark opportunity to catalyze this movement. Influential contributors from academia, business, government, and civil society will convene at Florida Gulf Coast University to explore how kindness can drive systemic change.
The Summit Experience: This two-day event will blend high-level strategic discussions with engaging public sessions and immersive hands-on experiences.
