Socialfinance.ca, colleagues at MaRS Discovery District and SiG are pleased to invite you to participate in the 3rd annual Canada Day at the Social Capital Markets conference.
Social Capital Markets 2011 (San Francisco Sept 6, 7, 8, and 9) marks the fourth year of the preeminent social finance conference globally. The event brings together 1200+ leading thinkers and practitioners from across North America and abroad to discuss trends and opportunities tied to fields of impact investing, social entrepreneurship and social innovation. This year, themes cover social innovation design, capital and philanthropy (themes outlined below).
The conference also provides an opportunity for Canadian delegates to connect, share, and brainstorm ways to develop the social finance market north of the border. In past years, it has been customary for delegates to enjoy organized dinners, networking events and workshop sessions while participating in the conference. This year will be no different.
SocialFinance.ca produces a weekly round up featuring social finance related news, insights, job openings, and events. We source the content for these round ups from Twitter, an RSS reader, and directly from our community of social finance practitioners. Below is our round up for the week of July 18, 2011.
I am delighted to announce the launch of the Canadian Global Impact Investing Group with our inaugural event, a Mix & Mingle, to be held at 7:30pm on Friday July 22nd at the ING Network Orange facility in downtown Toronto! This national Meetup Group has been formed to connect investors with social entrepreneurs and social enterprises, and to bring together a community of individuals and organizations interested in advancing the impact investing industry, learning more about impact investing, networking, sharing stories, and debating industry issues.
