NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

CDVCA’s Annual Conference is the premier training and networking event for impact investors providing startup and growth capital to rapidly-growing, job-creating businesses that make a measurable difference in people’s lives. Those who attend will get a chance to speak with industry leaders and government officials about issues that are currently affecting our industry.  Our goal is to ensure that participants walk away with a better idea of how to achieve tangible results for their own organizations and communities.

The 2017 CDVCA Annual Conference will be held on March 30-31, 2017 at Washington Plaza Hotel, Washington, D.C.

An Introductory Workshop precedes the Conference on Wednesday, March 29, 2017. This full-day workshop provides an overview of the industry and practice of impact investing. Attending this event offers an in-depth look at leading funds and best practices in the industry, and serves as the ideal entry point to the Conference and the industry.

The Sustainable Financial System (SFS) program aims to bridge the gap between the financial system of today and the sustainable financial system of tomorrow. The SFS program will address the risk and challenges that undermine financial system sustainability by putting in place a series of steps that will lead to change – with a particular focus on institutional investors and the intermediated investment chain.

Ahead of the event, PRI spoke with our CEO Steve Lydenberg and President and COO Bill Burckart. Click hereto read the Q&A.
