SOCAP is the largest and most diverse impact investing community in the world- and it is back in-person again!

Our flagship is the vanguard of the emerging global impact economy – convening ideas and capital to catalyze world change. The largest gathering of investors, entrepreneurs, and social impact leaders come together to accelerate progress against the world’s toughest challenges through market-based solutions.

We convene a global ecosystem and marketplace – social entrepreneurs, investors, foundation and nonprofit leaders, government and policy leaders, creators, corporations, academics and beyond –through live and digital content experiences that educate, spur collaboration, and inspire investment in positive impact. SOCAP unlocks the potential of markets to accelerate impact and have convened more than 100,000 people since our first event.

As we eagerly anticipate the return to in-person convenings, we are excited to announce a new partnership with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) to host the SOCAP22 flagship conference. YBCA is located in the heart of downtown San Francisco, with an airy, welcoming physical layout and adjacency to the vibrant Yerba Buena Gardens.  Multiple restaurants, hotels and cultural venues are very close by.

We look forward to strolling through the Yerba Buena Gardens with you in October 2022.

Time: 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Financial Inclusion Week (FIW) is an annual gathering of the global community working to advance inclusive finance. The four-day virtual event is a forum for exchanging ideas, research, and perspectives from around the world. The Center for Financial Inclusion (CFI) convenes FIW each year and invites partner organizations to showcase work, share ideas on what’s ahead, network with others, and more. The community-driven agenda covers the most pressing topics in our space, helping to inform and advise global efforts to advance inclusive finance. FIW 2022 will be held October 17-20. Registration information will be made available at financialinclusionweek.org closer to the date.

CFI invites sponsors to support FIW. Sponsors help maintain FIW as a free event for our global community and benefit from visibility on their contributions to inclusive finance. If your organization is interested in sponsoring FIW 2022, please reach out to center@accion.org.
