“The particular uniqueness of Springboard programs is the clear understanding of what it takes to move through the social entrepreneuring process from start to finish.  They do this by guiding and moving launchers step-by-step, utilizing their own expertise and linkages to incredibly innovative, competent and skilled individuals and organizations. This is done with the understanding that it is human nature to get stuck in one task or another.

Consequently we are kept on pace with supportive, thought provoking, and interesting tasks aimed at constantly moving us forward."

SPRINGBOARD HOSTS A NEW CONFERENCE

Join us at the crossroads of purpose and profit. Official ReVV Conference Site HERE

ReVisioning Value 2010: A Conference at the Intersection of Purpose and Profit will bring together leaders from the varied fields of impact investing and social innovation to share how new models for both are increasing the flow of capital to the creation of a more just and sustainable world. The one-day conference is followed by a day of hands-on workshops and strategic action roundtables designed to help participants apply the ideas offered at the conference to their own organizations as well as create real tools and strategies on the ground.

Attend and learn how to:

  • Inform and inspire those interested in financing change through social investing.
  • Provide information on how to create new kinds of change organizations, from nonprofits to social businesses.
  • Create new tools, formats, and organizational structures for social action.

A conference and workshops: two days to choose from

We were not content to just hold a conference. We've all experienced the frustration of going to a great conference and leaving with more questions than answers. To help you dig deeper and get ready to apply what you've learned, we've designed a day of three-hour workshops led by many of the same experts who you will meet at the conference. Choose one, grab a chair, and settle in to move your practice into the cutting edge. Program details here.

Contact us: Please contact us for more information on how you can sponsor, partner, or perhaps, present a session or workshop. Email info@revisioningvalue.org or call 503.226.2377. Have ideas for what you want to learn or offer at the conference? Let us know.

Download the Sponsorship Package to benefit from the opportunities this conference offers those who understand the importance of accelerating positive change.
