Social entrepreneurs, impact investors, and ecosystem builders are invited to join us for a day of inspiration, education, and collaboration to explore the intersection of profit and impact, community wealth building, and impact investing.
In this one-day local summit, you will learn with and connect with a diverse group of change-makers working to solve some of society’s most pressing issues. You can move past just a handshake or hello to a real conversation where you will spark or deepen meaningful relationships with folks actively working on complex social and environmental change.
The day offers sessions within different learning streams. Participants are encouraged to select the categories and streams they identified with most to participate in the most valuable conversations.
