ABOUT CONNEXIONS
expanding
expertise+exchange
Connexions Global Matrix, Inc. is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) non-profit devoted to advancing public education, building networks, and developing expert, multisector, global leadership in the information and technology space. In an era defined by rapid advancements and global upheaval, our mission is to be a catalyst for positive transformation through networking, aggregating existing efforts worldwide, and serving as a force multiplier for those efforts. We aim to foster a dynamic international community that encourages critical thinking, explores pressing issues, innovates sustainable and creative solutions, and challenges current narratives shaping our hyper-connected, tech-driven world.
Our yearly conference is dedicated to unraveling the complexities of information disorder, emerging technologies, and the socio-economic and socio-political challenges that media and technology create. We invite thought leaders, scholars, and professionals from diverse fields to engage in a multifaceted exploration of how these phenomena affect social dynamics, governance, political movements, regional conflicts, and everyday life.
For the network age, we need networked leadership. At Connexions, we aim to both nurture up-and-coming leaders and bring together researchers, educators, and experts globally who are already effectively leading and innovating in the information space. Through collaborative discourse, cultural education, technical skills development, innovative and interdisciplinary exchange, Connexions endeavors to empower individuals, communities, and organizations to develop expertise, growth mindset, and strategic vision for our volatile and highly complex international environment.

EXPAND
Public Programming
We've collaboratively developed a variety of programming designed to increase public scholarship and make foreign policy accessible to a broader audience. Our Experts speaker series, launched in Fall 2023, is one example of our aim to offer substantive programming by experts in their field and region. We are always adding more, so check back for announcements throughout the year!
EXPLORE
Workshops
For educators and students, we offer workshops on a range of topics from digital literacy to design thinking to social media marketing to tools for tracking disinformation.
EXPERIENCE
Vision-building opportunities
We are driven by the conviction that cross-cultural experiences and connections positively impact leadership development. In any programs that we create or contribute to, we do our best to provide inspiring experiences that encourage creative thinking and both personal and professional growth.
EXCHANGE
From Texas to the World
We partner locally, regionally, and internationally to create dynamic growth and learning opportunities for students and scholars in the U.S. and globally. (Fun fact: we were using Zoom for virtual exchange before Zoom became globally popular.)
