An annual networking conference is building the “next-generation mountain town.” Summit brings together a diverse group of activists, innovators, and entrepreneurs—which has included musician Will.i.am, environmentalist Erin Brockovich, and founder of TOMS Shoes Blake Mycoskie—to collaborate “within a music festival–like atmosphere.” Powder Mountain in Utah will soon be the event’s homebase, and will include co-working spaces, yoga studios, and a range of homes to create a town “with a focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, arts and altruism.” (The Wall Street Journal)
