Shaping CT’s Future is Connecticut’s premier event series and story telling engine that unites leading businesses, organizations, and innovators to drive positive change and foster statewide growth. By bringing together visionary leaders with diverse perspectives, we tackle the state’s urgent challenges and uncover its greatest opportunities.

Shaping CT’s Future began as a mission to unite fragmented conversations across the state, fostering meaningful ideas and accountability. In 2024, we hosted five events tackling critical issues, creating spaces for tough yet productive dialogue. Looking ahead to 2025, we aim to turn these discussions into action by collaborating with stakeholders to develop pilot programs that drive change and lay the groundwork for broader solutions. Connecticut deserves visible progress on issues impacting daily life, and together, we will address these challenges to shape a better future.
