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

SOCAP Open is a public forum where diverse voices come together for dynamic conversation to advance social capital markets. It is our invitation to you to share your best programming ideas with our conference team and the SOCAP community, and to add your perspective to the mix. After the submission period, all ideas are voted on by the general public and reviewed by an advisory panel of experts.

Selected session leaders then develop their content and present it during the SOCAP conference in San Francisco. SOCAP17 will include interactive sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and storytelling opportunities. We invite you to add your unique voice to the conversation by submitting your session idea.

Have you ever thought about why it matters where you and your company bank?

To create a new economic system that is just, fair, regenerative and better for the world, we need to think about our money in a very different way.  Banks were originally created to be in service to the community, but our financial system is not working for the majority of us or for the planet. Banks are the engines of capital and the core of the economic system. When that capital becomes a tool for the people, it accelerates justice and equity, improves the environment, health, and communities, resulting in a better society for all.  Join us for a conversation with leaders in the field of finance and justice to consider how banking can be a tool for change at the societal, community, business and personal levels. This event begins with a panel discussion, followed by Q&A and ample time for networking.
