Mainstage: Putting People First
CGI 2025 Annual Meeting
Mainstage: Putting People First
Democracy is under siege globally in 2025 and along with it, trust in longstanding institutions and political participation. But history shows us time and again there is an opportunity to course correct – if we turn our attention from the leaders at the top to the masses at the bottom, centering inclusion, access to information, and economic opportunity. As Kennedy Odede reminded us on the CGI stage in 2022, the power ultimately belongs to the people. This session will highlight leaders who are putting people first and call to action the bold exercise of sound governance and defense of democratic values and institutions.
