In a time of extraordinary social and economic transformations and shifting geopolitical alliances, the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute, in line with its mission to have a positive impact on humanity, will host a capstone summit to identify and explore the highest Priority of all humankind.

On September 22nd, 2022 in New York City, PRIORITY will uncover the number-one Priority in the minds and hearts of all individuals from every age, background and culture across all continents.
