Man, we love London.

We’re there once again this Monday for the Legatum Institute’s Next Generation Philanthropy Forum. It’s a sweet opportunity for the leaders of several major international organizations to get together and discuss how the world’s youth is influencing the spectrum of social conscience. Yeah, that’s you. Both Invisible Children CEO Ben Keesey and VP of International Development Ben Thomson were asked to participate in the various panels taking place throughout the day. We’re grateful to have been considered for this first-rate honor, and look forward to hearing from the directors of some pretty impressive groups. Our generation is taking charity to a new level — this conference is a perfect example of that.

Hey, don’t worry. Of course we’re not leaving you out. The entire conference will be streamed live over the internet, so we’d love you to tune in. You know we want you there. For you Tweeters, comments and questions can be submitted by Twitter at any point during the live feed.

The conference will be held from 09.00-18.00 GMT. DC is 5 hours earlier, California 8 hours earlier. Ben Thomson will be speaking on a panel entitled New business approaches to philanthropy from 11.15-12.45, while Ben Keesey will speak on Advocacy and philanthropy through new media from 16.30-18.00. We know, that’s a lot of Bens.

“If monetary value is attached to something it will be exploited until it’s gone. That’s what happens when you convert living beings to cash. That conversion, from living forests to lumber, schools of cod to fish sticks, and onward to numbers on a ledger, is the central process of our economic system.”
