SOCAP is a break from the walls that historically divide us, including the geographical lines that separate us. This is where movement makers and institutional investors learn from each other; it’s where academics share research with operators on the ground, and where entrepreneurs showcase their scalable, world-changing ideas. SOCAP forges profound and powerful connections.
Location: San Francisco, California
Date: October 28–30, 2024
