Join Us for the First-Ever Mattering Summit!
For a decade, the You Matter Marathon community has shown the world that a simple card can change a life. From 50 states to 100 countries, you’ve shared over 3 million You Matter cards. You’ve created ripples of connection that prove mattering is the architecture of a healthier world.
Today, we’re thrilled to invite you to the next chapter of our journey: The 2026 Mattering Summit, taking place virtually on May 12-14, 2026.
Hosted collaboratively by the You Matter Marathon and The Flourishing Center, this first-of-its-kind event is a global gathering dedicated to the power of human significance. We’re bringing together leading experts and passionate citizens like you to expand the reach and everyday practice of mattering.
What to Expect
While our cards start the conversation, the Summit is where we dive deeper. Over three days, we’ll explore how to cultivate mattering within ourselves, foster it in our workplaces, and weave it into the fabric of our local communities. You’ll walk away with:
- Practical Tools: Simple ways to increase well-being and decrease loneliness in your daily life.
