“I expect that by mid-century, if not much sooner, a majority of the employed around the world will be in the non-profit sector on the Collaborative Commons, business engaged in advancing the social economy….The traditional capitalist economy will be managed by intelligent technology attended by small professional and technical workforces.” (Jeremy Rifkin, The Zero Marginal Cost Society, page 293, 2014)
If Jeremy Rifkin is anywhere close to right in his prediction, you cannot afford to miss this year’s Queen’s Centre for Social Impact, Social Innovation Bootcamp.
While some may continue the debate, the facts demonstrate that social innovation is no longer an isolated paradigm, or something “other people” do or think about. Today, social innovation, defined as the creation, development, and integration of new concepts and practices that put people and the planet first, is on the agenda of for-profit and non-profit CEOs, shareholders, investors, product developers, venture capitalists, academics, the professions, and public policy leaders working in a wide variety of sectors. The bottom line: If you are to succeed in your career or professional life, you can’t NOT know about the issues, technology, new business models, investor criteria, and change-maker trends which are currently shaping this fast moving dimension of our economy.
With over 13 dynamic, informative and inspiring speakers, you will come away with the insights and current knowledge you need to find a way to have real, positive impact on an issue you care most about, or integrate social innovation into your professional and personal life goals. You will also have the opportunity to put your ideas and skills to the test with our first ever Social Innovator’s Pitch Competition, a new feature on this year’s, with over $2500 in seed fund awards to be given to the top ideas.
