The landscape for social impact is changing dramatically with new forms of enterprise emerging whose core purpose is to create social, cultural, environmental and economic value.
The Social Capital Conference – to be held on the day (&amp; evening) of Tuesday June 7 – will bring together prospective, emerging, and leading entrepreneurs and those who seek to support them. Together we will explore the question:
IS SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP OUR CITY’S GREATEST UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH IMPACT and INCOME?
You’ll hear inspiring speakers who’ve lived this journey. You’ll connect with others who are part of the Social Entrepreneur community – practitioners, investors, leaders, innovators, funders, and other risk takers. You’ll ask the big questions and hear stories and lessons from entrepreneurial peers – no matter how big or small your venture is. And of course you’ll eat great food and enjoy great coffee from our social enterprise partners!
