bigBANG! is North Texas’ longest social impact event that convenes social innovators, community leaders, and business professionals for transformative dialogue and powerful action in our region.

For one week in October, bigBANG! will bring speakers from across the country and state to explore topics and action critical to racial, gender, and economic equity in our communities. The evidence of long-standing discrimination in our nation is clear. Disparities in income, wealth, community infrastructure, educational outcomes, health and incarceration rates all point to systems that better serve some groups and exclude others, particularly people of color and women.
