​The Fourth Effect Annual Summit

​​THE BUILD: Governance, Ownership, and the Future of Value Creation

​Every year, we step back to ask one question: what is the state of the effect?

​This year, the answer is all around us. Institutions are being taken apart and put back together. Whether we like it or not, it is happening now. Structures rebuilt by accident get rebuilt badly. Structures rebuilt on purpose become the ground the next generation stands on. That is the opportunity in front of this community. And it is why, this year, we build.

​We are not alone. The founders who built before us and the ones building right now, the families who have stewarded capital across generations, the largest institutions in the world, and the regulators who watch the markets have each arrived, for their own reasons, at the same conclusion: what endures is built by design.

​And here is what they have all seen. Governance, maybe the most overlooked word in business, is a creative act. It has been hiding in plain sight: the structure that unlocks the value a company creates, compounds it, and safeguards it. How we govern, how we own, who is in the room when it counts. This was never compliance, never a box to check. It is what sets value creation free.

​Because trust is not a feeling. It is an architecture. And who gets to build, own, and lead is not decided by talent alone. It is decided by whether the structures exist to let talent in.

​We’re thrilled to welcome Justin Rockefeller to our mainstage, bringing a rare perspective on family governance, mission-aligned investing, and what it means to build and steward value across generations.

​Join 200+ entrepreneurs, investors, and cross-sector leaders as we pressure-test two questions from every angle: What should we build? And how do we make sure that what we build keeps creating value?
