What does responsible business look like when change is the only constant?

Join the United Nations Global Compact Network USA for an evening celebrating the launch of our upcoming report, Resilience in Real Time: Businesses in a Changing Landscape, which explores how American companies are turning commitments into real-world action.

The program will open with remarks from senior leaders at the United Nations, followed by a candid conversation with business leaders featured in the report on how organizations are strengthening workforces, advancing human rights, and building resilience by putting people at the center of strategy.

Noah Smith, our moderator, will be joined by:

  • Benjamin Cohen, Chief Marketing Officer, Knoll Printing & Packaging
  • Cristina Villalón, Co-Founder, CEO & Director of Interior Design, Álvarez-Díaz & Villalón
  • Ruth Steinberg, Partner, Avasant
  • Wendy Rentschler, Global Corporate Citizenship, Belonging, ESG Impact & UN Liaison, BMC

The evening will conclude with the Business as Unusual Exchange — an interactive networking experience designed to spark meaningful conversations and connect leaders shaping the future of business.

This event will take place in New York City (Midtown East) on March 24, 2026, from 6:30–8:30 PM.

Registration is now closed.
