What is the RISE PECOWorld Summit
The RISE PECOWorld Summit is the world's only co-created, co-located global convening where every participant is a speaker. No panels. No presentations. Just subject matter experts, practitioners and grassroots leaders — in the same room, bound by the same ownership, committed to the same outcomes.
The 13th edition introduces a new architecture: a structured journey from Dialogue → Conviction → Co-ownership — culminating on Day 4 when a named Partner, Entrepreneur and Citizen commit to a shared PECOcircle™ that is registered, visible and accountable to the world.
Dialogue for collaboration — something we talk about a lot but often don't do enough. We need more such breakthrough interaction towards collective action and impact.
— Shombi Sharp, UN Resident Coordinator for India · RISE World Summit 2023
