According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of Kairos (of Greek origin) is ''"a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action: the opportune and decisive moment."'' [1] This word powerfully conveys the vision of Ankur Jain, founder and chair of the Kairos Society, who questioned, "What if today's most influential leaders were friends 30 years ago, working together to solve the world’s problems?"[2] This simple statement led to the proliferation of an organization that spans across five continents, bringing together the great minds of our time. The Kairos Society currently partners with Johnson & Johnson, Autodesk, American Airlines, and GE to help solve our world's biggest problems. [2]
 
Here is a helpful overview video from Karios Society:

According to the its website, at this point the Kairos Society organizes three major Global eventsglobally:
#'''Global Summit:''' Started in 2009, the Summit focuses on gathering the world's brightest minds together every year to solve the world's bigger problems.
The Kairos Society uses their student contacts in the region to generate interest.  Kairos believes in independence among its members and trusts them to recruit other like-minded individuals. The general idea is for an individual to seek out the Kairos society or vice-versa, there is no mass-recruiting. The selected student can then make their own recruiting decisions, often including their personal collaborators. Fellows must be extremely independent, motivated, and determined to be afuture leader. The Kairos Society is incredibly selective about their fellows; there is not a current published list of schools/regions available of Kairos fellows.
