Boston Global Forum

Boston Global Forum (BGF), based in Boston, Massachusetts, was founded to bring together thought leaders and experts from around the globe to participate in open public forums to discuss and illuminate the most critical issues affecting the world at large.

BGF’s principal mission is to provide an interactive and collaborative world forum for identifying and developing action-based solutions to our most profound problems.

BGF’s method is to host gatherings of thought leaders and experts to identify and dissect the most pressing societal concerns, and then to propose creative and practical solutions.

The Michael Dukakis Institute for Leadership and Innovation (MDI) began informally on September 23, 2015 at the Brookline, Massachusetts home of Gov. Michael Dukakis during his Distinguished Leadership Lecture delivered to the first Michael Dukakis Leadership Fellows of 2015-2016.
