1. Summit 2010 + World Forum News
As the premier event for the field, the Summit provides inspiration and learning and also convenes thought-leadership for shaping the field. Join us in San Francisco as we focus on the theme New Approach, New Economy: Realizing the Potential of Social Enterprise. Highlights include:

Shaping a New Economy Plenary Panel
We know we need a more inclusive and sustainable economy – what would that look like? What do we have to do to get there? What are some key elements already in place that we can build on? This panel answers these questions from the perspectives of social enterprise, the social economy movement, the local living economy movement, and the next generation. View expert panelists
