About the 2023 Summit
With a successful track record of hosting eight previous highly-rated Summits – 8 in-person at locations in the Washington D.C. area and 2020 and 2021 online, the Wharton Club of DC expects to organize the 2023 Wharton DC Innovation Summit in a hybrid format: in-person in Washington, DC and online.

  • Reflecting the turbulence of recent years from the pandemic, plus ongoing global economic disruption and geopolitical tensions, this year’s theme provides historical context and a helpful look ahead to those who want to control their destiny, while benefiting more people: Advancing to a Healthier, Wealthier World for All

Startup and other businesses, governments, nonprofit and society had been grappling with challenges that arose from COVID-19. Now, higher interest rates, economic issues, and the higher challenges of bank loan and other capital availability are creating a “wall of worry.”  But, innovative and responsive leaders are striving to deal with current challenges and capitalize on opportunities in many areas, including those of the 2023 Summit’s General Sessions / Keynotes and 3 breakout tracks
