About Our Private Members Club for Policymakers

Paul van Zyl and Nick Hamilton founded The Conduit after years of attending global conferences, where they discussed some of the world’s most pressing challenges. They wanted to create a space where changemakers could gather all year round, not just at big events. The Conduit, a private members club for policymakers focused on social impact, is designed for business leaders, investors and activists to come together and work on real-world solutions. Rooted in the idea that we thrive through collaboration, we foster a diverse, optimistic community, united by a shared vision of a better future.
