From our friends and invaluable partners at Skype:

Powerful change often starts with conversations. At Skype, we are proud that our software is used to enable conversations that lead to the betterment of humankind. We saw that last week when Skype video calling was used to connect individuals from Africa, Europe, even other U.S. states, into the very important conversations taking place at 92nd Street Y about achieving the Millennium Development Goals at the Social Good Summit presented by Mashable, 92Y and the U.N. Foundation.

Thus, we are honored that through our partnership with 92Y we can continue bringing individuals into important conversations that lead to powerful changes, as will happen next week, October 5 - 6, during the 2010 Conference of Nobel Laureates. Presented by 92Y and the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, in partnership with Skype, the conference in New York City brings together Nobel Prize winners and business leaders for an intergenerational, multi-disciplinary discussion of pressing world issues and changes in corporate leadership.

Read more on the Skype blog and purchase tickets to the public event with Elie Wiesel and David Axelrod, Senior Adviser to President Obama (pictured above). It will be a fascinating conversation.
