MICROFINANCE EVENT: Social Capital Markets (SOCAP) to Host “SOCAP15,” October 6-9, 2015, San Francisco, California, USA

Event Name: Social Capital Markets “SOCAP15″

Event Date: October 6-9, 2015

Event Location: Fort Mason Center; San Francisco, California, USA

Cost: Regular admission to the event costs USD 1,395 plus a USD 9.95 processing fee. Registrations completed prior to March 26, 2015, are eligible for a discount of USD 600.

Summary of Event: This conference aims to bring together representatives of government, investors, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders to discuss the social enterprise and impact investment sectors. Rather than focusing solely on profit maximization, social enterprises use commercial strategies to balance profit-making with efforts to meet goals such as reducing poverty and reducing environmental damage; impact investments are those that seek similar goals, often by investing in social enterprises. Topics covered will include the divest/invest movement and case studies of investment opportunities and wealth managers, among others.

Background on Organizers: SOCAP is a US-based nonprofit organization that seeks to “direct the power and efficiency of market systems toward social impact.” SOCAP organizes several events each year to bring together investors, social entrepreneurs and foundation representatives to discuss ways to bolster the social impact of business.
