The business and investor community once questioned whether it could afford to prioritize social impact. Today, the consensus is clear—how can it afford not to? As the Millennial and Gen Z generations continue to push corporations and investors towards solving social and environmental challenges, funds and the organizations they invest in are directing their attention not only to the bottom line, but how business and financing models can be aligned or directed to have a positive contribution to society.

At this event, attendees have the opportunity to explore ways in which businesses and organizations are sourcing and using capital to generate business solutions to global, systemic challenges. Attendees will learn from thought leaders about innovative examples and insights, and where opportunities exist to pursue future careers of impact on both the financing side as well as creative uses of social impact capital.

Join us on November 30, 2018 as we bring together industry leaders, investors, philanthropists, professionals, faculty, students, and alumni to share best practices and engender new ideas surrounding the intersection of capital and society.
