The
conversation
An intimate evening built around one question: how does a movement, a company, or a career convert attention into durable power? Rashad Robinson has spent two decades building campaigns that changed corporate and public behaviour — not by being seen, but by shifting the rules.
Why visibility, representation, and a seat at the table are not the same thing as leverage.
The mechanics of campaigns that move institutions — coalitions, pressure, and timing.
Where leaders in tech, philanthropy, and business go from here — and what the room can do.
From Presence
to Power
Robinson's argument is blunt: being in the room is the beginning, not the win. Drawing on years of organizing at national scale, the book lays out how change actually gets made — who holds the levers, how narrative and pressure work together, and why so much energy spent on representation never converts into results.
Attendees will hear the thinking behind the book first-hand, and copies will be available on the night.
