Multi-city satellite GDF conferences will begin on Friday, May 10th in Los Angeles, California and continue on May 14-15th in Dublin, Ireland and Silicon Valley, California. Hundreds of others have registered to hold grassroots  Diasporas@ “unconference” to inspire and connect a generation of young diasporans.

All views and opinions expressed in these forums and events are the views of individuals and do not necessary reflect the views of the U.S. Government, IdEA, or the independent event organizers.
