Why AOG created The Ascent Summit Challenge
The Ascent Summit Challenge was created to turn the principles behind The Ascent Way into something visible, shared and measurable. Every two years, Ascent Onsite Group intends to bring colleagues, clients, partners and selected professionals together around one significant challenge, one chosen cause and one opportunity to create lasting social value. Kilimanjaro 2027 is the founding edition.
