Wrapping Up...

It’s been an intense, but rewarding two days at the 2010 World Social Enterprise Conference and Summit. Practitioners from across the globe have shared their stories and provided valuable insight into the world of establishing, maintaining and building business ventures that traverse a range of social issues.
The thirst for more is clear. More knowledge, more support, more understanding and more enterprising and innovative approaches to dealing with the world’s problems.


Key note speakers Chip Heath and Dan Pallotta inspired, ignited debate and provided insight into the broader philosophical discussion of how we see change and charities. While neither Chip nor Dan show signs of letting up, a changing of the guards, or perhaps a little respite, seemed to be on the minds of social enterprise stalwarts as they heralded in the young social entrepreneurs through the development of networks, enterprises and skills building activities.

San Francisco - here we come!

I will be winging my way to California in 13 days to become the official blogger for the Social Enterprise World Summit in San Francisco. This forum attracts social and financial entrepreneurs from around the world who are working with some of the most disadvantaged communities.

Stay in touch during this time by going to the blog at www.sea-alliance.blogspot.com or check in on our Branching Out blog.

This is a fantastic opportunity to ask the experts about how the arts and creative industries can become more enterprising and see first hand some of the innovative approaches in the many arts initiatives in the city.
