"I Loved how education, entrepreneurship, education and entertainment were unfolded at a very high level and in playful ways. It provided access to 'other worlds' and ways of thinking...clearly showing lots of similarities to where ideas can cross-pollinate. Super, super inspiring!"

EPIC IMPACT SOCIETY
In 2018, our team started on a journey developing an international summit based on the EPIC acronym: Experiential learning, Pause, Ingenuity and Community engagement. The success of the inaugural EPIC International Summit launched in 2019 was the catalyst for our inspiration to form the EPIC Impact Society as a 501(c)(3) organization. We continue this journey of growth to fulfill the EPIC vision of being “a creative force for positive change in the world”.
Behind the curtain
The EPIC Impact Society team is a community of international professionals from a cross-pollination of industries who endeavor to serve the EPIC mission of empowering creative leadership and social innovation through education, arts and humanitarian engagement.
