The Global Happiness Summit will take place on October 9th –10th, 2010 aboard the USS-Hornet, an American treasure that participated in the Apollo 11 space mission. The Global Happiness Summit will be the most important and dynamic summit in the history of the happiness movement, bringing together hundreds of industry, government and visionary leaders, research scientists and accomplished students from all over the world. This unprecedented event will take place during “Fleet Week”, providing the best seat in the house!  Step into history and follow in Neil Armstrong’s footsteps, ride the flight simulator or just relax and soak in the breathtaking views of the San Francisco bay.

The USS-Hornet is just 20 minutes from San Francisco at 707 W. Hornet Ave Pier 3, Alameda California.  We invite you to be part of this wonderful event in support of our theme: "Raising the Level of Happiness in the World".  It will be Educational, Enlighten, Entertaining and Empowering.    

The I Am Happy Project is a non-profit charitable organization that began early 2009 by Edwin Edebiri.  During a time when disasters, recession and depression are increasing, he wanted to encourage people to shift focus on the things that really matter, such as faith, family and friends.   The 10-10-10 campaign: At the summit we will identify the 10 things we can do over the next 10 years to raise the Global Happiness Index (GHI) by 10 points. (Current index is at 67)
According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego “When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person’s happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends’ friends,                          and his friends’ friends’ friends. The effect lasts for up to one year.”
