Social Entrepreneurship Events

Submitted by Allyson Hewitt (not verified) on Wed, 04/08/2009 - 12:48pm.

Being just a few years out of university (give or take) I feel ill equipped to comment on your position on Marxist ideology, but having held two successful Social Entrepreneurship Summits at MaRS in the past two years where we had a tough time managing an incredible waiting list and having just come back from the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship in Oxford, UK where 800 delegates attended from over 65 countries - and their biggest challenge was managing their wait list; I can tell you my experience does not support the position that the economy is causing the cancellation of these type of events.

The momentum around social entrepreneurship is overwhelming - there is a real acceptance that business as usual is no longer an option and although some may have chosen to explore "reform or revolution" others are working to ensure that at least we incorporate double or triple bottom lines into the "business of doing good".

All very interesting and if you do take Tonya up on her offer of a coffee, I'd be pleased to join you.
