In my preview post to SoCap, I indicated that I was looking forward to understanding better how the demand side of impact investing was evolving. I was hoping to get a better understanding of how investors and intermediaries are collaborating to source and close deals, and how entrepreneurs are increasingly more (visible) about what their needs are.
Well, SoCap11 has not disappointed so far. Right from the first couple of pages of the program agenda, where Kevin Jones articulates his vision for SoCap11, it is clear that there is an enhanced focus on entrepreneurs.
Join 1200 people from over 70 countries in Montreal, October 17th -20th who are activating the social and solidarity economy across Canada and globally. fiess2011, is the International Forum on the Social and Solidarity Economy, that brings together those who collaborate with different levels of government to effect public policy for the benefit of the social economy.
For Canadians, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of the world at our door. You will want to be at fiess2011 if you are part of the non-profit, cooperative, social business or social entrepreneurship sectors, or if you are working towards changing the landscape of public policy towards social well-being and economic growth. fies2011 takes networking to a new level with dedicated spaces and delegate meet-ups.
This is Canada's premier event to connect with the people who are changing how we collectively address complex social and envrionmental issues of our time. Check out the program, workshops and field trips planned throughout the week.
I am looking forward to hearing from this impressive list of international and national guest presenters:
