SOCAP aims to increase awareness of social enterprise and impact investing of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. They believe they can do this through media and content generation, live streaming of conference sessions and a substantial network of media and distribution partners. This becomes an excellent platform for partners and sponsors to align their values and missions at the very heart of the social enterprise movement. The SOCAP conference allows for so many opportunities of sponsorship and annual or multi year engagements.&nbsp;

OVERVIEW 

SOCAP or Social Capital Markets, is a world renowned conference series that is dedicated to increasing the flow of capital towards social good. SOCAP can do this through connecting leading global innovators with resources including investors, foundations, institutions and social entrepreneurs in order to create a market that intersects money with meaning.  SOCAP strives to direct power and efficiency of market systems towards teams that work on projects of social impact. SOCAP comes in to support the growth of this market. SOCAP has been the world's most successful social enterprise and impact investing event, and has brought together more than 5,000 people since its inaguration in 2008. The organization operates out of the Impact Hub Bay Area, a co-working space and changemakier community based in San Francisco. Every year SOCAP hosts a conference in San Fransisco in the Fall and a new city every Spring. The conference series hopes to grow in the future in order to reach more people and more opportunities for success.
