Countless moments in history have shown the irrefutable power of taking a stand for meaning. Today, the events in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and the wider Middle East are a poignant reminder that systems failing to support our common well being can be challenged to do better.

From May 30th to June 1st, Amsterdam will host SOCAP/Europe, the largest interdisciplinary gathering of individuals and institutions at the intersection of money and meaning in Europe. SOCAP/Europe will challenge one of the most prominent economic systems in history. Whether directly invested or indirectly affected, capitalism’s influence is global; consequently, it unites us all in a great opportunity to insist that our capital markets work better to reflect our shared meaning – to enrich our health, environment, education, economic opportunity and local communities in a sustainable way.

European representatives from esteemed financial institutions ABN AMRO, Triodos and DOEN Stichting, charities such as Unltd, impact investment organizations like Blue Orchard and social enterprise leaders like Kiva have already committed to taking a stand for meaning at the Beurs Van Berlage in Amsterdam. For two full days we will harness the power of conversation, shared learning and strategic thinking to explore how we can move forward together.

We welcome you to join us. See a list of our confirmed speakers, check out our social entrepreneur scholarship and volunteer applications, or take advantage of the early-bird rate by registering here. Hope to see you in Amsterdam!
