On March 16-17, 2012, Social Venture Partners Rhode Island (SVPRI), Brown’s Social Innovation Initiative, and Entrepreneurship Program at Brown University will host the Social Enterprise Ecosystem and Economic Development (SEEED) Summit at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. SEEED will convene a national audience of social entrepreneurs, innovators, civic leaders, legislators, academics and students to explore the role of social enterprise in economic development. SEEED creates a needed platform to share models and explore the increasingly important role of social enterprise in our local, national and global economy.
SEEED features national thought leaders as speakers, panelists and as well as interdisciplinary workshops aimed at sharing best practices and developing future public policy suggestions on the state and federal level. Speakers include Tracy Palandjian, CEO of Social Finance, Inc. John Maeda, President of RISD, Martin Keen, Principal & Owner Keen Design Studio, Bill Strathmann, CEO of Network For Good, and Michael Brown, CEO and Co-founder of City Year.
Topics to be discussed at SEEED, include: Impact Investing, Research, Ecosystem Models, Workforce Development, and New Innovations among many others.
SEEED will provide many opportunities for networking, conversation, and inspiration. The first day of the conference will conclude with a Social Event at Trinity Restoration Project, a start-up social enterprise in Providence. Local food and entertainment, all with a social mission, will be provided to conference participants.
A ticket is $150 for both days, and $100 for one day; students can attend both days for $45 and $25 for one day. Meals are included with ticket price, and also reflect the SEEED mission- all food is produced by local Rhode Island social enterprises.
