The Social Capital Market, the market at the intersection of money and meaning, is gaining strength and momentum as more people reject the old greed-first capital market and search for an alternative. It’s going to convene once again at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco on September 1-3, 2009.

Why should you attend?

If you want to be part of making business make money and make a difference, if you want to invest for financial return and creating a better world, you want to be at SOCAP09. If you’re an experienced impact investor and want to explore new partnerships, or if you’re new to the field and are looking for a way to make sense of your career and your investing, there is a place for you at SOCAP09.

Who will be there?

More investors, donors, and entrepreneurs than the 600 people from 26 countries who attended last year.

There will be major foundations and new social venture funds on hand, from Europe, Africa, Asia and the U.S. We will get clarity from the Obama administration’s Office of Social Innovation and learn how international development agencies are working with private sector investors. More major players are jumping on board the SOCAP platform to showcase their work and learn from each other at the conference that lifts the vital conversations that happen in the hallways up onto the main stage.

What's new this year?

The 2008 conference was a discovery of the landscape. In this new economy, we are seeing a roadmap emerging and we are highlighting ways people and organizations are finding their way in, moving forward and collaborating. A big piece of the conference will be highlighting partnerships, networks and communities that are coalescing in these new times.
