OUR VALUES

Facilitating Connections

We amplify transformative ideas and connect people and organizations that can scale them.

Flipping Venues

We use the city as a classroom, playground, stage: weaving your stories into the fabric of Boston.

Launching Conversation + Action

We create opportunities for deeper dialogues. The stage is a starting point, not an end point.
Founder & CEO of Ideas in Action, John Werner has created a career out of bringing ideas, networks, and people together to generate powerful results.
Boston will turn 400 years old in 2030, and the U.S. is about to turn 250. I want to develop exciting ideas that can deliver impact as these two milestones occur, and I want to create something extraordinary for Boston.
