Human Potential Capital, the Charles Koch
Foundation, and Common Group mark 100 days until the start of the
Human Potential Summit in Denver.
DENVER, July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Together, Human Potential Capital, the Charles Koch
Foundation, and Common Group marked 100 days until the start of the
inaugural Human Potential Summit. The gathering in Denver, scheduled from October 14 to 16, will bring together leading
employers, educators, innovators, startups, and investors to
collaborate and build a better future of work and learning.
The Human Potential Summit will feature remarks from top thought
leaders on building a work and learning ecosystem with individuals
at the center, examples of employers that have seen the benefits of
rethinking their culture and practices around talent, and focused
workshops where participants will co-create solutions to today's
biggest workforce challenges.
Recent research has found that roughly seven out of ten
Americans define their sense of purpose through their work, but
less than half of workers feel seen and valued as people by their
employers rather than just employees. The Human Potential Summit
aims to create a movement that values the potential and strengths
of each individual and offers everyone a path to contribution,
fulfillment, and success in the workplace.

Location: Sheraton Downtown, Denver,
CO

centers on the individual and unlocks potential through skills and
strengths.

Human Potential Capital elevates entrepreneurs to
catalyze economic mobility and meaningful careers for all.
"Far too often, important conversations about employer
practices and educational pathways — and even the skills that
learners and workers want and need — happen in a vacuum," said
Taylor McLemore, CEO and general
partner, Human Potential Capital. "The Human Potential Summit is
built on a simple idea, that to build a future of work that works
for everyone, these conversations need to happen in the same room.
And it's exciting to see the reception, momentum and support for
that idea to become a reality this fall."
The Charles Koch Foundation works to ensure all people
have the opportunity to live a life of meaning and contribution
based on their unique gifts and aptitudes.
"As a foundation dedicated to building a society where
everyone is empowered to live a life of meaning and succeed by
benefiting others, we're proud to sponsor the Human Potential
Summit," said Ryan Stowers,
executive director of the Charles Koch Foundation. "This summit
will be a unique and exciting opportunity to foster collaboration
among employers, thought leaders, solution providers, investors,
and so many others shaping the future of work and learning. There
is a lot of momentum around new workforce practices, but without
bringing key stakeholders together around shared principles, we
won't generate the long-term answers. Only together will we find
the solutions needed to empower everyone to reach their full
potential."
Common Group is a design and fund management firm
growing the impact of social investments in education, workforce,
and talent.
"At Common Group, we believe innovation and collective action
are essential drivers of economic mobility," said George Vinton, CEO of Common Group. "We're
sponsoring the Human Potential Summit to bring leaders together
across the private, public and social sectors, stimulating
discussion and debate, and advancing our vision of a thriving
economy where equity and opportunity prevail."
