The Davos of human development.
Three days at the Wynn Las Vegas where the people shaping culture, science, business and the arts gather around a single question: how we care for one another.
The gathering
A summit for the people rebuilding how the world thinks about mental health.
Built on the #NotAlone Challenge — the largest mental health campaign in U.S. history — and the Inspiring Children Foundation’s twenty-five years of work with at-risk youth, the Not Alone Summit brings founders, athletes, artists, clinicians and philanthropists into one room for an honest, hopeful conversation.
It is not a conference of panels behind glass. It is a curated few days of talks, workshops, wellness, music and dinners — designed so the people who can move the needle actually meet, and leave having started something.
“The Davos of human development.”

Why it matters
Being part of the Not Alone Summit is about creating a lasting legacy — lending your voice, your influence and your presence to work that outlasts all of us.
The people with the reach, the resources and the platforms to change how this country cares for its own don’t often sit in the same room. When they do, things move. Half of the United States still lives in a mental health desert, and one in four teenagers has considered ending their life — and those are the odds this room exists to change.
Access
Rooms and conversations that don’t exist anywhere else.
Influence
A platform to shape how mental health is understood and funded.
Community
People who keep showing up for one another, long after the weekend ends.
Legacy
A hand in systemic change for the generations after us.
The experience
Three days, one arc — arrive, inspire, close.
The Awards Show
A red-carpet evening honouring cultural icons and changemakers in mental health, elevating the work to a national stage.
Invite-Only Dinners
Each evening, speakers and guests gather for intimate dinners and performances from renowned artists.

A sense of last year’s room
Last year’s Summit welcomed leaders and voices from across sport, science, music, business and philanthropy — Harvard and Yale clinicians, Grammy-winning artists, Hall-of-Fame athletes and Fortune 500 founders among them. Each year’s gathering is its own; the 2026 line-up is confirmed closer to the event.

Our part in it
The Summit is a classroom.
At the heart of the Inspiring Children Foundation is Project-Driven Learning — the belief that young people learn best by doing real work, on real projects, with real stakes. It is why the majority of the Foundation’s programs and operations are created and run by its own youth, and why they earn their way rather than simply being given a place.
The Not Alone Summit is one of those projects — and one of the biggest. Inspiring Dreams works alongside the Foundation on the operational and production craft of the event: the logistics, the run of show, the hundreds of details that turn three days at the Wynn into something people remember. We do it shoulder to shoulder with ICF’s young leaders, teaching and guiding as we go, so that by the closing dinner they have not watched a world-class event happen — they have helped run one.
The Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, is the beneficiary and steward of the mission. If the Summit speaks to you, we’re glad to help you learn more.
