WELCOME TO SOCAP12
WELCOME TO THE MARKET AT THE INTERSECTION OF MONEY AND MEANING, THE SPACE BETWEEN GIVING AND INVESTING, WHERE PEOPLE COME TOGETHER TO PUT THEIR RESOURCES TO WORK TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Our theme this year is Making Meaning Matter. This is a market and a conference thats about more than investing money for good, about impact investing. Its also about WHY we want to invest our money for good, why we want to support businesses that have a goal of changing the world and returning a profit to investors. We are here because we are about investing in a new way that supports businesses doing business in a new way; a way that creates positive good, measurable good, and impact, while it makes a profit. And were about the intersection of impact investing with next generation philanthropy: the philanthropic investors and donors who are changing the rules and who are going to be making a difference for a long time. Together, both sides are trying to use the market as a tool to meet the biggest challenges of the world, from health to housing to energy to food production. By itself, impact investing only solves some problems, not all problems. By itself, there is not enough money in philanthropy to solve the problems of the world, from healthcare, to housing, to hunger. To make the difference we want to make, we need to rely on giving working together with impact investing to alleviate poverty and create an economy that works for all. Giving is often needed to create the infrastructure, the underlying conditions that allow impact investing to step in at a later stage and invest to bring those solutions to scale. And were taking a deep look at where that is working. With making meaning matter as the backdrop, weve come together to talk about, to learn about, to meet and learn from people who are about investing in this new way. And to meet the entrepreneurs, the ones who are going to make it happen. Even more than the content in the keynotes or the nearly 100 content sessions, SOCAP is about a community that comes together. Its about the people in the hallways or standing or sitting next to you. The purpose of our content is start conversations happening among us, connections that result in partnerships that go somewhere. Gathering birds of a feather to look at issues together is one way to experience SOCAP12. For example, a lot of people think you can create more impact if you invest in things that focus on a beneficial effect on the women of a community. We apply that gender lens in multiple sessions, and there is a group that is meeting to talk about it throughout the conference. We also have people who are guiding curated experiences for newbies first timers to both SOCAP and to this space and for people of faith. At SOCAP12, youre sure to find others who share your common thread of why and how meaning matters to you. We have more than 100 scholarshipped entrepreneurs at this years conference, and youll be seeing them and other entrepreneurs whose companies are farther along throughout the program over the next three days. Theyre working on issues from sanitation in urban India, to renewable energy in rural Africa and China, to urban food systems here in the U.S. Theyve all got great stories: watch for them on stage, or at our Innovation Showcase where you can get a good look at their solutions to the worlds most pressing problems. They have great ideas and they have real businesses. Some of them have businesses that can still become something big. Some of them are well on their way. It all starts with the startup: the risky endeavor by an entrepreneur. And as we cover the spectrum, we bring in leading innovators who will outline the best ways to catalyze the crucial early stage investing in startups that are the key to really making this big change happen. At the other end of the spectrum we also take a broad and deep look at how
and where this market is maturing, where its starting to reach the mainstream, where venture investors from Silicon Valley are taking interest in impact investing. While its growing, the social capital market is also immature: its got gaps that havent been bridged yet. Its a space thats evolving fast, a lot of things are getting figured out, and the infrastructure is getting built quickly. Our hope is that SOCAP12 will strengthen the framework, help this market mature, and contribute to the clarity, coherence, and capability of the movement. Our goal when we started in 2008 was to show there was a market at the intersection of money and meaning, a space between giving and investing that shared the goals of the philanthropist and of the investor. We wanted to show that that space was real and big and growing. Four years later, the evidence is clear: more than 6,000 people have come to SOCAP conferences from 70 countries. SOCAP12 is our fifth conference, and so were taking it deeper this year. We have plenty of sessions for newbies who just want to know whats going on in the space. But in addition (rather than just our traditional panel formats), in six specific areas of the movement were also doing workshops and design sessions. These sessions are places where experienced people who want to know more can roll their sleeves up and take the discussion to the next level, in areas from saving the ocean to building local economies. We are a broad conference, looking at more than the overlapping space of giving and investing we look at places where change is happening, and how technology, the public sector, and whats happening in local communities are making a difference. For instance, in our Technology for Good themed sessions we look at big data, and how to harness the flow of all the online information in which were immersed so we can make a difference. And we look at how to make sure the people on the margins get to benefit. We look at the spectrum of investors in renewable energy in the developing world and at ways its intersecting with mobile technology to make that energy more affordable.
In our Deep, Local, Connected theme, where we focus on the interplay of systems in particular places, we check out how the democratization of business ownership changes the game as highly efficient cooperatives start to take off. We look at investing in food systems to alleviate poverty in both the developing world and in poor communities in the U.S. We check in on some strategies that communities are using to build vibrant, resilient, local economies in places like Vancouver. We show you where this approach is working, how its working, and how its evolving in a rich variety of examples from around the world. This market has grown and changed tremendously in the five years since weve started and weve been glad to be in the middle of it. Were glad youre here to join us. And we thank you for doing your part in evolving the movement.

MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS MATTER AT SOCAP12

SOCAP IS A PLACE TO CONNECT AROUND MEANING. EACH YEAR, HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE BYPASS TRADITIONAL BOUNDARIES GEOGRAPHY, NATIONALITY, AGE, RACE, GENDER, ORIENTATION, POLITICAL AFFILIATION, INDUSTRY, SPECIALTYTO MEET IN A PLACE WHERE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE MEANING IS SHARED AND CELEBRATED.
Meaning will look and feel different for the D.C. philanthropist than it does for the Pakistani energy entrepreneur or the Thai impact investor; yet, we all come together at SOCAP for the possibility (and inevitability) of connections that will give meaning to a new idea, story, partnership, deal, or action plan that we can only create together. Its the ability to find common ground in the least expected of places that builds the movement, and its that common ground that makes SOCAP matter. SOCAP12 provides multiple platforms, tools, and opportunities for making meaningful connections. Happy connecting! work to hundreds of trash pickers. In 2010 we took that same company and asked you to make a choice to take a bag or invest in the company that made the bag. In 2012, weve decided to take a new route, away from the materially symbolic conference gift. Were taking a break from more stuff, more clutter, more things. Each year we bring more than 100 entrepreneurs from around the globe and give them the chance to tell their story to the SOCAP community. We believe that these people, the communities they represent, and their personal stories are truly the best gift we can offer.
Lets use these tokens to reflect and invest in what matters: our meaning, our communities, our futures.
VOLUNTEERS

This past weekend, at the Impact Accelerator @ SOCAP, our global entrepreneur community selected 5 projects that they believe are ideas for a future worth investing in. Your wooden token represents $5 that you can choose to invest on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform toward one of these five projects by dropping it one of five jars at the entrepreneur table in the HUB@SOCAP. Likewise, we invite you to think beyond the token about additional resources (both financial and otherwise, tangible or intangible) that might bring these ideas to life.

THINKING BEYOND THE TOKEN: OUR GIFT TO YOU

Each year, SOCAP strives to challenge our boundaries about how we think of gifts in the good economy. Where many conferences hand out mugs or bags, even ones that pertain to sustainability, weve always been more drawn to meaningful tokens of significance, products that contain stories that connect people and activate momentum for our future. In 2009, we gave attendees bags that represented an investable enterprise in Indonesia that gave enhanced

ART AND EXPRESSION SPACE

Back at SOCAP by popular demand, art is again being called upon to help us describe and understand the three-dimensional ramifications of our mission to reinvent the economy.

We hope that art at SOCAP will invite you into a robust thinking space, and offer reprieve and rejuvenation.

SOCAP12 SALUTES THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION @ 100

equitable growth, especially for poor and vulnerable people, relies in part on our commitment to a continuing search for, and openness to, new ideas and new ways of building solutions to these complex crises. The activities that form our Centennial program -- the convenings, social media platforms, search and challenge grant-making, and analysis of lessons learned from our first 100 years, and the work of others -- are designed to enable that approach to reach its full breadth and potential. The year 2013 marks a century since John D. Rockefeller established The Rockefeller Foundation. To commemorate the occasion, we are launching a Centennial initiative that will celebrate the richness of our past work and look ahead to the development of innovative approaches to address the global shocks and deepening stresses of the 21st century. In the face of these 21st century realities, achieving the Foundations overall goal to build resilience and more Our centennial is also a moment to look ahead, to analyze which global issues will dominate the next decade and beyond, and to sculpt new ideas for addressing them. When it comes to helping to build resilience and more equitable growth, our Centennial is a chance to consider what we have accomplished, but even more urgently to strategize for the future, always anticipating trends and leading the way to the solutions of tomorrow.
NEW AT SOCAP12
From an idea in the mind of Kevin Jones back in 2007 in Oaxaca, Mexico, to SOCAP: Designing the Future in Malm, Sweden this year, I have consistently taken great pleasure in engaging with the people, the ideas, and the organizations that make up the SOCAP community. It is now my privilege to join SOCAP as Creative Director, contributing to the teams efforts to make SOCAP12 an exceptional event. And to help plan the future of SOCAP to match and serve the maturation of impact investing and social entrepreneurship the world over. New for 2012in response to demand from the SOCAP communityour content is taking steps towards offering richer, deeper experiences for those of you who want to dive in to a particular topic. What does this mean? Well, each morning two themes will be showcased in the plenary session, giving every SOCAP attendee a big-picture view of the topic. Well then proceed to a one-hour session with leading experts in each field, which will roll into a two-hour design facilitated workshop exploring how to realize real-world outcomes around the subject and in the work and lives of session attendees. Our hope with the design series is to not only impart inspiration, but to spark participants to take action relevant to the topic and to their field of work. Topics we have slated for what we are calling the SOCAP Design Series are: will tackle the big issues and intractable problems surrounding topics such as Social Impact Bonds, Crowdfunding, and Metrics and Information Systems. All these sessions are marked with a logo to indicate they are a deep dive session. But rest assured, as we begin to take a deeper approach to our SOCAP sessions, we are keeping much of what makes SOCAP unique: diverse and challenging content that leaves many attendees feeling like they have been drinking from the fire hose. We have more than 100 sessions scheduled. We have major foundations presenting and mixing it up with early stage and developing world social entrepreneurs. We have HUB:CONNECT running in an Unconference or Open Space format from first thing Tuesday to last thing Thursday, allowing you to program the sessions that inspire you and that we might have left out. And, as always, we have the space and setting to ensure you connect with the people you want. These are exciting times in the world of impact investing and social entrepreneurship. And these are exciting times for SOCAP as we begin to take the organization to the next level. Expect more of what makes SOCAP great. Expect a gradual deepening and a radical democratization of content. Expect more challenges to the norm, and more support for movement building. Expect SOCAP to stay doing what it has done from the outset: serving our community.

THEMES AT SOCAP12
IMPACT INVESTING
Impact investing has emerged as a movement and an asset class. But who are the impact investors? How much financial return are they asking for and how much impact are they demanding? Well look for answers by convening well-known investors and new impact funds, as well as the fields experienced leaders. Youll learn where the market is moving, from the full-spectrum of investors: angels and early stage to family offices and institutional investors. The people-powered capital tools of crowdfunding also have their place in the conversation. In partnership with Omidyar Network 2012 marks five years since the term impact investing was coined. In this time, the sector has generated tremendous interest and begun attracting capital from diverse sources. What can we do in the next five years to accelerate the industry towards sustained impact? Omidyar Network is excited to partner with the Impact Investing theme at SOCAP12 to facilitate this important conversation. By reflecting on trends that have emerged and lessons learned, we hope to inspire greater dialogue about the potential that lies ahead and the steps needed to ensure the most constructive outcomes. We encourage you to engage with the sessions and speakers, share your own ideas about impact investing, and join us in championing the industrys evolution.
PUBLIC SECTOR CONNECTING FOR IMPACT

In an ever-more-connected world facing the reality of finite resources, civic engagement is emerging to fill the gap. From platforms for advocacy and volunteerism that enable people to take more control of their communities to startups that bring in new political voices in an election year, civic entrepreneurs are creating something important and new. At the opposite end of the scale, social impact bonds are trying to change the rules so social service agencies ally with investors to solve systemic problems in chronically disadvantaged neighborhoods, rather than simply putting bandaids on symptoms. At the international scale, nimble impact investors struggle to work with the cumbersome development agencies. At the local, national, and international level, government and impact investors are learning to engage with each other.
DEEP, LOCAL, CONNECTED

There is a sense that, as our global awareness grows, our neighborhoods must remain primary in our focus if we are to see real impact. This is seen in the social capital market as inner city entrepreneurs innovating to create financial inclusion and improve health, housing, and food. And in rural areas around the world it shows up as environmental funders joining forces with social investors to alleviate poverty and create resilient ecosystems. Its all part of a new approach that is deep, local, and connected.
TOMORROWS PHILANTHROPY
Giving is not going away. While impact investing is making a difference, the role of giving is becoming even more central in the social capital market. This partnership can be seen in the grants and subsidies that fund the initial concepts that then become investable and scalable. Donors and corporate givers are also stepping up to help would-be world-changers become ready for investment through accelerators, seed funding, and other promising solutions that increase the potential for sustainable global good. Across the sector, investors and donors are learning when to give, when to invest, and when to accept lower financial returns in exchange for higher impact.
MEANING
We all enter the social capital market because we want to find a way to make a difference with our lives and with our money. Keeping meaning at the table as the market becomes mature and deal sizes grow is the job of everyone who shows up. The alternative is letting the money rule. The intersection of the two is what makes this space new, and when they truly come together it transforms our paradigms and the world we live in.

EARLY STAGE
The innovations that have the potential make the biggest change often come from raw startups. But unlike in standard investing, few young social enterprises will ride a hockey stick curve to rapid success, because they are taking on some of the most intractable problems of the world: from sanitation to education. New syndicates, new investment structures that are more friendly to the entrepreneur and to their goals to make a difference are arising. Crowd-funding and local stock offerings enable the average person to put their money in the game. Its still a work in progress, and huge gaps remain, but the early stage of the social capital market is increasingly growing and vibrant.
NEW ECONOMY
Markets are not forces of nature, like tsunamis or earthquakes. They are tools that are designed by people for a purpose. The traditional capital markets are broken, trust is often absent and the system is based on growth and competition assumptions that simply dont work for the planet or its people. At SOCAP we explore new structures, new kinds of ownership, and look for new ways to rebuild the markets for the good of all.
INTERMEDIARIES
Market infrastructure is essential. And in the social capital market, intermediaries are arising to build the bridges that take concepts to reality. Infrastructure runs the gamut from accelerators that enable promising entrepreneurs to gain the skills to get funding, to pitch sessions with investors, to metrics systems. Systems to make sure impact investors are really making a difference are still evolving. While most metrics are built to answer the questions that investors want answered, asking the beneficiaries of impact what they want and how they feel about the interventions that impact investors are bringing is starting to become more common.
SOCAP DESIGN SERIES

New for 2012, in response to attendee feedback from previous years, weve decided to focus on a few topics and GO DEEP! What does this mean? Each morning, two themes will be showcased in the plenary session, giving every SOCAP attendee a big-picture view of the topic. Well then proceed to a one-hour session with leading experts in each field, which will lead into a two-hour design facilitated workshop exploring how to realize real-world outcomes. Our hope with the Design Series is to not only impart inspiration but to spark participants to take action relevant to the Design Series topic and to their field of work. The SOCAP Design Series is brought to you in partnership with Hot Studios.

TECH FOR GOOD

Low cost, renewable, distributed energy is changing lives in rural Africa, India, and other parts of the developing world. A spectrum of investors is working in the space, with goals that range from philanthropic to asking for market rate return. Around the world, big data is enabling people to know where a problem is and find ways to solve it, while also making sure the people on the margins get to use the power of that information. Mobile technology is leapfrogging old systems and bringing information within reach of more people. Impact investors who typically like to share information (in a cooperative paradigm) are still learning how to work with traditional tech investors with a focus on gaining an edge (in a competitive paradigm).
DEEP DIVE SESSIONS

For SOCAP12, we have an increased number of 90-minute workshop sessions, designed for individuals to immerse themselves in a topic. Not for the faint-hearted or beginners, these sessions will be immersed in the big issues and intractable problems surrounding topics such as Social Impact Bonds, Crowdfunding, and Metrics and Information Systems. All these sessions are marked with a logo to indicate they are a deep dive session.

Investment vehicles and social ventures designed with a gender lens are emerging across the spectrum. Women investors are especially keen to align their values and their investments. But, what are their real opportunities and constraints? Whats the experience of those at the forefront and how can their learning translate across the field?
The investment community is increasingly buzzing around the M4D (Mobile for Development) sector. The opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of poor in the developing world through mobile, when coupled with the more traditional investor aims of potential high-yield profits, presents an ideal investment profile for many technology investors. But are those aims compatible? Or are there inherent differences between traditional technology investing and the recent opportunities for social-impact M4D investing that make the two impossible to reconcile? Given traditional technology investors, on the one hand, and the differing approaches, goals, risk appetites, ROI expectations and investment timeframes associated with social impact investors, on the other hand are the opportunities for impact investors really there? And if there does exist an investment profile that successfully captures and balances the twin aims, which qualities will win out and how does that impact the investors chances of success?

Are CDFIs in your portfolio? CDFIs (community development financial institutions) are mission-driven intermediaries with a proven track record of impact, safety, and soundness. CDFIs aggregate private, public, and philanthropic resources to invest in high-impact community businesses. CDFIs invest in energy efficiency, renewable energy, healthy foods, healthcare, childcare, education, micro-enterprises, small businesses, affordable housing, and more. And they focus entirely on high-impact by targeting low-income and low-wealth urban and rural communities all across the country. CDFIs leverage your investment dollars to produce even greater social impactmore jobs, more affordable housing, more energy efficiency savings, and more access to affordable health care.

The field of gender lens investing is hotand with good reason. Investing in womens leadership and livelihoods pays social and financial dividends. Research shows that if women had the same access to capital as men, more than 6 million jobs would be created in the next 5 years alone. Studies confirm that gender diversity in teams drives better decision making. And gender is inextricably woven into intractable social challenges such as poverty, health care, and education. This interactive session will contrast the realities of experienced gender lens intermediaries with the desires and intentions of investors. From here we will invite in the rest of the room to actively illuminate the possibilities and the constraints of viewing investments through a gender lens. Join us to learn, network, and add your ideas to this powerful set of possibilities. Note: Everyone is welcome to participate in this workshop.

The session would be particularly relevant for those currently engaged in (or interested in) deploying grant funding, investor capital, and/or capacity-building support to catalyze the development of new business models of impact enterprise or new impact markets. We are seeking a diversity of participants across many sectors of impact enterprise. In addition to working through questions about developing participants own practice of enterprise philanthropy, we hope to be able to use this session to surface intersections of interests between participants and to forge new opportunities for collaborative effort in this important space.

THE ANATOMY OF THE DEAL: CONNECTING CAPITAL WITH NEEDS, PERCEIVED AND REAL IMPACT INVESTING
Investors cannot find enough of the right entrepreneurs to invest in. Entrepreneurs cannot find enough of the right investors who invest. The historical mismatch of capital is magnified in the social investment space and breaking through this log jam is crucial for growth in this sector. How has this obstacle been overcome and what are the costs and benefits of approaching this capital gap in a new way? This session will discuss the anatomy of a deal, focusing on how different types of capital have been utilized in a way that adds value for investors, entrepreneurs, and ultimately in-country stakeholders. The participants will share experiences on how they have constructed and reconstructed deals to meet actual needs. Topics to be discussed include: lessons learned from assessing and utilizing grants in impact investing seed funding, structuring enterprises and changing expectations to best accommodate the available capital from the entrepreneurs perspective, and providing and structuring capital from the investors perspective based on the actual (rather than the theoretical) investment opportunities. Term sheets, MoU, and PPMs will be reviewed and open sourced with the goal of having a catalytic discussion.

Venture philanthropists and social entrepreneurs have been waiting for foundation endowment and banking capital to join them in the impact investing sector. However, these huge sources of social capital remain largely on the sidelines. Investment advisors and private wealth managers, who have traditionally sought to preserve capital and maximize financial returns, are hesitant to invest in the highrisk deals that characterize impact investing today, even if they are accompanied by large social benefits. But what if there were very low-risk investments that could generate a positive (if modest) rate of return, and at the same time advance a foundations mission or satisfy a clients desire for social returns? This panel includes several investors who are looking for strategies to move large scale capital into the sector, and organizations that are developing lowrisk, high-social-impact investment opportunities and financial vehicles that generate meaningful returns for investors with manageable risk profiles. Could this be the key that unlocks large-scale capital?

Improving the health and life chances of residents in Americas low-income communities represents one of the greatest domestic opportunities for impact investors and social enterprises. There are both immense needs for investments able to address looming healthcare problems, and immense opportunities to enhance their impact by partnering with substantial government investments. New opportunities range from government-subsidized grocery store construction in urban food deserts to thousands of new community-focused clinics supported by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and pay-for-success strategies (e.g., Social Impact Bonds) that allow for investors to support cutting edge social innovation and participate in the savings accrued through reduced societal costs. These developments represent billions of dollars in new investments in community health promotion, but there is a need for tens of billions of dollars more in private investments (debt and equity) in order to fully address the scale of poverty and poor health in our nation.

Many impact investors talk about the importance of aligning stakeholder objectives, but few drive it to the level that impact lender RSF Social Finance has. When you put money in a bank, you never see the recipients of your money faceto-face. In RSFs Social Lending loan portfolio, investors meet quarterly with entrepreneurs and RSF staff to recommend adjustments to the interest rate for their investment. Later, fund managers negotiate terms with social enterprises and see whether their rates compete. What happens to the social capital markets when stakeholders decide themselves on the trade-offs between risk and return? This panel will bring together investors, entrepreneurs, and staff from RSFs portfolio to explore the potential challenges and rewards of radical transparency.

The social sector is societys way of caring for the people, places, and things that are not addressed by the market (private sector) or the government (public sector). We have millions of organizations, billions of people, and trillions of dollars devoted to social good. While the social sector has been the source of many of our societys great achievements, it still faces challenges: capital flows are inefficient and costly; programs are not as effective as they could be; and impact is often unknown. Many of these issues are driven by the lack of a robust and dynamic flow of information. Markets for Good is a broad campaign

Are there risks associated with the expanding retail market?

This panel will examine pioneering market creation and distribution models as well as the ecosystem hurdles that must be overcome to tip emerging off-grid energy solutions into the economic mainstream. To date, the work of social entrepreneurs has concentrated on localizing technology and establishing sustainable business models. But achieving impact at scale requires greater attention to systemic factors. We will look at the solar energy sub-sector through the lens of d.light (solar lanterns), Grameen Shakti (solar home systems), and Solar Sister (Avon-style distribution). Success for each of these ventures has hinged on an appreciation of culture, the importance of human agency, and entrepreneurial adaptation. In addition to addressing their approach to these factors, panelists will identify sector-level collaborations that are needed to transform the energy poverty ecosystem.

As the impact investing market matures, fund managers play an increasingly critical role connecting large-scale investors and the social and environmental enterprises working to scale their impact.

This highly interactive panel features Michelle Nunn of Points of Light, the worlds largest volunteerism organization; Kyle Azevedo of ViaCycle, which enables bike-sharing in order to build more sustainable communities; Ben Rattray of Change.Org, which (based off citizen initiative) has ended both human rights abuses in emerging markets and ATM fees in the U.S.; and Ross Baird of Village Capital, which enables communities of peers to allocate seed investments.

Distribution platforms are connecting new impact investors and new pools of capital from retail, high net worth, and even institutional markets. Acting as a public face for impact investing, platforms tell the impact investing story to a broader audience and need their own creative marketing strategies. Please join us to discuss how platforms are telling the impact investing story and building momentum for scale.

Several locally-focused enterprises are proving that the skyrocketing energy costs (that have drastic effects on lowincome families) can be better controlled using innovative technology, financing, and smart cost management. Affordable multifamily housing is generally older and less energy efficient than other US real estate. And while energy and water costs are one of the more controllable expenses for property owners, improving energy efficiency remains a

DS 5.1 / CHANGING THE RULES OF THE ECONOMIC GAME: WE MADE THIS SH** UP, WE CAN MAKE UP SOMETHING ELSE Joy Anderson / President and Founder, Criterion Ventures John Fullerton / President and Founder, Capital Institute Many say that 2008 was the wake-up call that our economic reality is less about global cycles and more driven by the financiers who manage and often set the rules of the game. There is no invisible hand of capitalism, there is no tooth fairy. Humans created these systems and therefore we can change them. Joy Anderson and John Fullerton have been playing around with systems change for decades. Join us for this plenary session to see whats possible.

Each year, companies spend more than $31 billion on market research. The majority of those dollars are spent in rich countries, to determine how to drive consumers to buy more products and services. There is just as much opportunity to use customer insights in emerging markets: to identify new market opportunities and to serve clientele more effectively. This panel will explore where insights can be used in the business or project cycle. Using panelists firsthand experience, it will provide guidance for practitioners on how to use customer insights to inform a range of business questions, on a range of budgets.

60 MINUTE SESSION / HERBST (IMPACT INVESTING SESSIONS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OMIDYAR NETWORK)
As the impact investment market has developed, the community has grappled with the question of compromising some objectives for others. The old way of looking at investing for impact was based on a framework of tradeoffs: discounts on rates of return in order to achieve a positive social or environmental impact. Now, impact investors are changing the conversation. Theyre more interested in addressing their impact goals, and then putting their resources to work to achieve their goals. Yasemin Saltuk / JP Morgan James Perry / Panahpur Foundation Ommeed Sathe / Prudential Financial Penelope Douglas / HUB Bay Area (moderator) THE RENEWABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT SPECTRUM TECH FOR GOOD
How can we utilize increased political engagement to bring new voices, capital, and resources to the impact investment movement? As startups like Upworthy and Change.org increasingly begin to tackle problems in civics and politics, a whole new market is emerging. A strong market requires supportive infrastructurefrom incubation to fundingand an election year offers an opportunity to bring new voices, capital, and resources to the fray. This panel will explore what it will take to get this new market off the ground. Panelists TBA Christie George / New Media Ventures (moderator) ED TECH ENTREPRENEURS: ADDRESSING EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITY WITH TECHNOLOGY TECH FOR GOOD
Social entrepreneurs are an essential element in building a sustainable economy. The success of their ventures depends as much on ingenuity as on having supportive public policies in place. Its critical that entrepreneurs have a voice on Capitol Hill, the White House, state legislatures, and in the media in order to advance a triple bottom line economy. This session will highlight efforts by leading entrepreneurs helping to shift the market and drive policies that advance social impact.

A growing and diverse set of investors are investing in renewable energy for the poor. Some only invest in the energy sector, others have funds that specialize in energy but also focus elsewhere, and still others are making oneoff investments in energy companies. Some are quasiphilanthropic players that target start-ups and offer softer terms while others are hard core players that expect market rate. This session highlights the diversity of philosophies, approaches, and investments across the spectrum.
We can all agree that a childs zip code should not determine her destiny. And yet, that is exactly what happens in our country as a result of the current state of our education system. Just half of all students in low-income communities graduate from high school by age 18, and only 15 out of 100 earn bachelors degrees within five years of entering college. A new group of education entrepreneurs have emerged to address some of these inequalities and they all firmly believe that technology is the way to do it. At this session, meet four early-stage entrepreneurs who have created both non-profit and for-profit ed tech ventures. These organizations are getting traction and are on a path to achieving scalable, positive impact. What are these organizations trying to accomplish? What are their biggest challenges? How do they think about scaling, growth, and impact? Panelists TBA Alexandra Bernadotte / Beyond 12 (moderator)
Across the country, a movement is growing to replace the current, consolidated U.S. food system with a sustainable, regionally-based system of small and mid-sized farms and business owners.

CROWDFUNDING: OPENING THE DOOR TO THE AVERAGE PERSON IMPACT INVESTING
There are three of the typical, broad responses to climate change: denial, mitigation and adaptation. The impact investment community has reacted strongly to mitigation-focused industries such as alternative energy and eco-products whose main attribute is their lower carbon footprint profiles. But now surges a new generation of players: climate reality entrepreneurs who develop solutions to adapt to the current climate reality, and impact investors who want to nurture and support this new space. LGT Venture Philanthropy and Agora Partnerships are co-investors in a Nicaraguan company CO2 Bambuthat aims to bring to market an innovative technology to make communities flood resilient. The purpose of this panel is to spark the interest of SOCAP12 entrepreneurs as well as investors to look at this space, helping to surface and nurture solutions that can scale and help communities adjust to our climate reality. What other solutions are there other than amphibious housing? How about drought resistant seeds, or mobile infrastructure to quickly deliver potable water to communities hit by ever more frequent and devastating natural disasters? Join us if you want to become a pioneer in the search for climate adaptation solutions.

NEW ECONOMY
Rebuilding thriving, resilient local economies will be the challenge, and opportunity, of our lifetimes. Tremendous innovation is emerging from the grassroots in support of local economies: community-based businesses and farms producing food, energy, and the goods and services that their communities need, are localizing their markets, choosing cooperation and taking responsibility for their own particular places. They are experimenting and pushing the envelope. For the first time, it is possible to foresee billions of dollars moving from global capital markets to community-based, triple bottom line enterprises. But the barriers are enormous. A cultural and economic shift of this magnitude is going to take much greater, sustained leadership from the investment and philanthropic communities. All speakers will share how local economy investors are redefining success. Join this session as we explore the challengeand opportunityof our lifetime.

Creating the conditions for healthy local economies requires more than just money. It requires that we think big and ask big questions. This workshop is designed to ask and address some of the most important questions for people seeking to invest to create healthier, more localized economies. What hopes do healthy, more localized economies hold for you? What are the biggest questions and challenges you are facing now related to your investments in local economies? What are the benefits of direct investments vs. advisors? What do rates of return look like? How do we measure success? Can we blur the line between investing and philanthropy for impact? While it can be hard to know where to start, this session features pathfinders who are building the new economy right where they live.

The assumption that growth can go on forever is embedded in traditional investment thinkingand even in most impact investmentsdespite clear evidence of financial and ecological overshoot.

BIG DATA FOR GOOD TECH FOR GOOD

3:30PM / PLENARY SESSIONS

Two of the worlds most powerful investors the UKs Department for International Development (DFID) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have joined forces to promote a subject that has become one of the most lightning-rod issues in American politics today: family planning. Leading with the argument that family planning is both a human right and a smart investment, the Gates Foundations and DFIDs co-sponsored event, the July 11th Family Planning Summit in London opened the wallets of governments from the richest in the world to the poorest, and from the non-profit and for-profit world alike, to the tune of $4.6 billion dollars. While some donors have been working in this area for decades like the U.S. government, which has consistently provided roughly 50 percent of total donor funding in family planning this event represents the sudden emergence of new, big players in this area, and opens the door for more to follow. How have advocates been able to move this topic from controversy to key intervention, and why is it a smart, cost-effective strategy with a triple bottom line, and impressive return on investment?

TRANSPARENCY AT SOCAP12
CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF CAPITALISM IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST TALK, ITS ABOUT DELIVERING ON OUR IDEALS. THATS WHY WEVE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO USE VENDORS WHO SHARE OUR VALUES FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND SOCIAL BENEFIT.
Weve also tried our best to minimize the detrimental environmental impact that large conferences like this one generally have. For instance, this years badge holder is fully biodegradable with zero toxic residue, and the its lanyard is made of 100% biodegradable and renewable bamboo. From consumption and waste to energy and emissions, weve taken steps to reduce the events footprint and prioritize sustainability.
FORT MASON CENTER

www.fortmason.org SOCAP12 returns for a fifth year to our dynamic waterfront home at Fort Mason Center, a unique destination for thought-provoking programs, events, and organizations that support and reflect the evolving cultural fabric of San Francisco. The campus is a National Historic Landmark and part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the countrys largest urban national park.
SOCAP12. COTAP enables attendees to offset your carbon footprint for $5-$36 by connecting you to accredited forestry projects which create life-changing income streams for the worlds poorest people.

SELFLESSTEE

SelflessTee donates $7 from every t-shirt sold.
ONEHOPE WINE

U.S. PURE WATER

www.uspurewater.com The water in Festival and Herbst Pavilions comes from U.S. Pure Water Corporation. The full spectrum water treatment service and sales companys aim is to reduce plastic waste & the use of fossil fuels in the delivery and production of plastic bottles, by providing equipment that treats at the point-of-use (POU) rather than at a treatment plant far away. USPW converted SF City & County to POU systems, and is helping to green events preventing 100s of thousands of bottles from landing in the waste stream.

SAN FRANCISCO CONSERVATION CORPS

www.sfcc.org/recycling.html We couldnt do it without you! All event waste at Fort Mason Center is managed by the San Francisco Conservation Corps with an aim toward landfill diversion and resource recovery. Following SOCAP11, we received this update from SFCC: We were able to produce a resource recovery/landfill diversion rate of 96.19%, which means that only 3.81% of the events total generated waste of 11799.72 lbs is headed to landfill. These great numbers could not have been achieved without your support and cooperation in striving for a zero waste event. SOCAP is absolutely one of, if not the greenest events that we do. It is obvious that the SOCAP producers and attendees have a real interest in putting on as green an event as possible, which is extremely rare and a pleasure for us to be involved in.
