Interested in helping the world? Keen to obtain more knowledge or skills on how to take action? Passionate about connecting with a like-minded community to create real change? Or do you just want to know what social innovation or social entrepreneurship is?

If any of these questions appeal to you, then the Social Innovation Conference is perfect for you! Social Innovation Conference is back for another year and we have teamed up with innovators, change-makers, and social enterprises to produce a one-day event to inspire you to tackle today's most pressing challenges in creative ways.

This year, we are going to make the conference bigger and even better! This year's Conference will focus on promoting ‘active participation’ in the social innovation sphere by focusing on HOW we can be the change we want to see, rather than WHAT change we should do.

You will be able to take part in panels and workshops to address topics such as public policy, technology, healthcare in NZ, climate change, cultural diversity, to name a few. No matter what social issue or solution you’re interested in, you’ll be able to get a taste of it over the 11 sessions in the day. Additionally, you will be able to interact with over 38 renowned speakers such as MPs, environmentalists, social innovators, and managers of well-known companies. This is a chance to learn and be inspired from the best of the best while meeting new people!

There will also be a showcase where you can interact with and learn from innovative companies and ventures that are solving social issues.

You will learn how to pitch perfectly to people about your creative solutions, receive feedback, and learn the tricks of the trade when it comes to effective communication.

So what are you waiting for? Come along and discover what is possible.

Bring your friends and register today!
