A Conference for Cross-Pollination

We must have everyone at the table. Social investors, financial advisors, nonprofits, social businesses, social entreprenuers (and would-be social innovators), retired experts seeking a new career, educators, bankers, lawyers, accountants, students, community developers, academics--all of us. While we usually attend conferences within our own profession, learning alongside others just like us, it's good to get out and explore the edges of our professions. We can't afford to always stay at the center of our own worlds anymore. We're all colleagues now, no matter what discpline we're in. Our worlds have collided, overlapped, gotten mixed up. While it's confounding and new territory, it's certainly where potential lives.

With the ReVisioning Value Conference and Post-Conference Workshops, Springboard Innovation intends to bring the sectors together, balancing audiences across the finance, change leadership, government, and business worlds, to work in this middle ground to redefine the traditional and the institutional. Innovation is created at the edges of habitats and niches, where they overlap and crowd into each other. It's a great opportunity to redefine, revise, and recreate how we will make a better world. We hope you'll join us at this confluence of opportunity.

Springboard Innovation enables community members to launch innovative, sustainable solutions to community problems. They do this with unique educational programs, facilitated forums, an online social innovation exchange, and a model for city-wide support of social innovation. Our goals are to bring more people into the discipline of leading change, and to help foster a new breed of change organization. Springboard focuses on educating, convening, funding, and building the ecosystem for social innovators, helping launch solutions to issues from global poverty to local food and family health.
