To champion this belief we've pulled together a hive of minds who are making positive changes within various industries. Hear from Extinction Rebellion, Facebook for Good, Taxi Studio, Project Everyone, what3words, Offset Earth, Glimpse, Ksoni & more.
On top of all this there will be creative sprints with A-game creatives, poster making with Protest Press & creative challenges with Moleskine Foundation.
Laurence King have very kindly given us a range of photography, art, design and architecture books to give away on the night.
Tickets are just £7 - and include a free beer!

Her professional past includes developing and running ‘Bollocks to Poverty’ - ActionAid’s youth brand – engaging tens of thousands of young people in issues such as tax justice and female genital mutilation.
Instead of criticising what’s going wrong, Glimpse wants to imagine a world where these problems have been elegantly solved. They wondered if they could use their existing skills to show a glimpse of something else, something better.
Behind numerous campaigns from 'Choose Love', the first real store which allowed people to buy products for refugees, to filling the entire of Clapham Common tube station with cat photographs, they believe in compassion as an organising principle for humanity. And cats.
