What is Focal Point?

OLAM’s annual Focal Point gathering is the premier convening of Jews passionate about global service, international development, and humanitarian aid. It provides a space for hundreds of Jewish leaders, funders, practitioners, and global service alumni from around the world to network, exchange ideas and best practices, problem-solve, and celebrate their shared commitment to serving the world’s most vulnerable individuals, through a Jewish lens. 

Focal Point 2021 will be OLAM’s 6th annual gathering, and the first to be held with a hybrid model that includes a virtual conference and in-person networking events in select cities around the world (in Israel, London, New York City, Washington DC, and possibly more).
