Posted October 14th, 2009 by Tom
The 2009 Social Capital Markets conference (SoCap09) was a watershed event. There was a clear sense that social enterprise has become a viable business strategy and investment option.
The event brought together many of the familiar faces from social enterprise summits past, but also a new group of leaders from traditional industries such as investment banking, government, real estate and forest products.

Notes from the Seventh Gathering, March 7 - 10, Atlanta, GA
Practitioners from around the world attended the seventh Gathering of the Social Enterprise Alliance (G7), which centered on the themes of economic justice and community renewal, with sessions showcasing the significant role that social enterprise plays in community development.
