OppenheimerFunds believes optimism is the key to making positive change.

A Focus on Optimism is designed to start a meaningful conversation about how

optimism fuels the future, creates progress and enables opportunities for

women. And for the world.

From meaningful interactions, like a Ted-style talk about investing in women in

emerging markets, to a panel on women pushing boundaries in order to pioneer

new outlooks, to an Optimist Index Booth, we challenged pessimism at every

touchpoint and helped charge the atmosphere with possibility.

OPTIMIST INDEX BIOMETRIC BOOTH ACTIVATION Attendees were invited to enter our Optimist Index Booth to

biometrically measure the difference between what they intellectually

say about the future and how they really feel. The goal was to

show that fear and pessimism can get in the way of their

long-term investing.

When finished, each participant was shown a unique visualization

of their results and sent a video that further reinforced how optimism

can positively impact their investment decisions.

OPTIMISM POST-IT WALLSummit attendees posted their hopes for the future on our

Optimism Post-it Wall, which sparked an ongoing conversation

on how to achieve these goals. As the wall filled with messages,

it revealed a bigger message of possibility for TOMORROW.

WEARABLE OPTIMISM We created wearable reminders with an empowering

message women could take with them out into the world.
