SEPTEMBER 1ST | 2ND | 3RD | FORT MASON CENTER | SAN FRANCISCO | CALIFORNIA THE WORLD HAS CHANGED: The economy, perceptions of risk (financial and profession), the definition of market rate and the U.S. administration. SOCAP09 is about making sense of the times and celebrating the renewed will and determination of the pioneers of social change. Join us at SOCAP09 as we demonstrate how social capital is in the eye of weathering the economic storm. In times of extreme scarcity arise intense creativity and impatience. Human capital takes on new importance as entrepreneurs and funders learn how to do more with less. We will bring together a unique mix of the world’s top social innovators – investors, donors, entrepreneurs, and thought-leaders... catalysts of change across the globe. Come to SOCAP09 to learn how to create effective partnerships, learn from best practices and tap new assets.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT SOCAP09 SOCAP09 will have two days of deep content dives followed by a third day of participant led sessions. Join us as we explore: » The Obama Administration’s focus on social innovation and how to gain access to opportunities for partnership » Social venture funds’ prominent role in the new economy » Creating common ground and effective collaboration between the private sector and development agencies » The social capital movement across the globe » The “Green New Deal” – Opportunities for investing in green infrastructure and urban green job creation » The rise and future effects of infrastructure groups and intermediaries to move organizations to scale » Fair Trade’s growth and segue into the mainstream as a demonstration of consumer behavioral change » Progressive media that moves people to action » Mobile technology platforms worthy of investment » Capital working together: Exploring effective partnerships & demonstrating examples of combining resources in scarcity

CONNECTION CONCIERGE PROGRAM Launching in early summer, the connection concierge program will be a full content management system allowing SOCAP09 attendees to enter their information into the database and search by multiple criteria to connect with fellow attendees before, during and after the conference. At last fall’s sold-out SOCAP08, we convened more than 630 social investors, philanthropists, entrepreneurs and development agencies from 6 continents and 26 countries. Now we’re back with SOCAP09 to take the next steps. Photos by Jerry Michalski
