Social Enterprise Annual Conference

Can investment funds manage a double-bottom line, financial return and social impact, and how do they balance this inevitable tradeoff? Participants are leaders of organizations whose guiding philosophies span the spectrum from heavier emphases on financial returns versus greater concern with yielding social benefits. What is the best business model for affecting change in the developing world? Panelists will also discuss how a network of social impact investment firms has developed over the recent years and the extent to which they collaborate, share best practices, and compete with industry players.
