The consensus is now clear—how can businesses afford not to? The Millennial and Gen Z generations are driving trends in impact investing\, using their purchasing power to demand change\, and seeking employers that are socially conscious. As a result\, funders and the organizations they invest in are directing their attention not only to the bottom line\, but also to how business and financing models can be aligned to positively contribute to society. \nThis headline event\, located in the finance capital of the world\, provides a unique opportunity to tap into the vibrant ecosystem of capital for impact through the lens of philanthropy\, impact investing\, ESG\, and social venture and business examples. Social impact leaders in business\, government\, nonprofit\, and philanthropy will speak to how they are changing the way we think about how capital is sourced and used to generate sustainable solutions to global\, systemic challenges. Hear where opportunities exist to pursue future careers of impact on both the financing and implementation sides of social impact capital. \nJoin us on October 11\, 2019 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. Speaker presentations will catalyze conversations of change and embolden a generation to take risks in order to create a world in which everyone\, regardless of where they were born\, has the equal opportunity to succeed in creating a better life for themselves\, their families\, and their communities. \nThis conference was founded by Columbia Business School’s Social Enterprise Club members in 2002\, and has grown to engage students across Columbia University\, as the pre-eminent forum to explore and address the ever-changing topics of social justice and innovation from the lens of business solutions.
