Dan Pallotta is a pioneer in the global effort to transform the way our culture evaluates the character and impact of nonprofit organizations.

His iconic TED Talk on philanthropy has been viewed more than 5.5 million times. The TED community voted it the most persuasive TED talk of all time. It is the 16th most-commented TED talk of all time.

He is the author of “Uncharitable: How Restraints on Nonprofits Undermine Their Potential,” the best-selling title in the history of Tufts University Press. The Stanford Social Innovation Review said that the book, “deserves to become the nonprofit sector ’s new manifesto.”

He invented the multi-day charitable event industry. He created the Breast Cancer 3-Day walks and the multi-day AIDS Rides long-distance cycling journeys, which raised in excess of half a billion dollars in nine years and were the subject of a Harvard Business School case study. The model and methods he created are now employed by dozens of charities and have raised in excess of $1.5 billion more for important causes from paediatric leukaemia to AIDS to suicide prevention and many others.

Dan is appearing live from Boston, United States for this virtual session.
