Social Capital Markets Conference 2009

I'm decompressing from an amazing time in San Francisco where I had the opportunity to meet the leaders who are advancing new ideas and financial instruments to achieve greater social impact. The crowd attracted to this second annual event was made up of a blend of financial advisors, fund managers, social entrepreneurs, and global organizers who were interested in thinking differently about how we address the social issues that we face in the world. The main theme was the desire to harness the power of business and government capital markets by building a new "social" capital market.

This was truely an amazing social media experience, and thank you to all the organizers who hosted us! The food was amazing and we all loved the kickass bags!
