The Boston Global Forum (BGF) was founded to bring together thought leaders across the globe onto an open forum to address the issues that affect the world at large. BGF operates as a not-for-profit 501(c) entity based in Boston, Massachusetts. BGF’s vision is to become a respected, unique, and action-focused forum to serve as an inspirational role model for global collaboration. BGF’s mission is to facilitate collaboration to identify, discuss, and propose meaningful, creative, and practical solutions to profound and pressing issues of societal concern. BGF invites nomination and application from individual experts and organizations worldwide to contribute to the discussion. Discussion is limited to one topic a year and takes place on the BGF online forum and at the BGF annual, mid-October conference in Boston.
