7th Annual Philanthropy Conference

Created and organized by student leaders from the Yale School of Management, the conference provides a unique management perspective on the challenges facing leaders in the social sector.  The conference attracts philanthropists, nonprofit professionals, academics, and students to engage in a conversation about trends and issues shaping the social sector today. Highlights of the conference include an interactive lab on social impact metrics, a roundtable discussion with individual philanthropists, and break-out sessions featuring experts drawn from across the social sector.

Now in its seventh year, the 2012 conference - Beyond Best Practices: Financing and Implementing Social Change – will offer participants tangible methods for, and strategic insights on, measuring and achieving impact as funders or investors seeking social change. The conference will explore topics such as:

• How funders and nonprofits develop successful partnerships across sectors

• How social impact organizations best innovate to capitalize on new technologies and ways of doing business

• How individual philanthropists are shaping and redefining their giving strategy

• How funders and nonprofits can use innovation processes to further their strategic impact

The conference will feature two keynote speakers, four topical panels and a lunchtime discussion with major philanthropists. New in 2012, the conference will also include a social impact laboratory led by innovation management consultants in which conference attendees will draw on their expertise to guide local nonprofits in the creation of social impact metrics.
