Why Attend SOCAP24?
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

A Global Ecosystem
Convening
SOCAP Global is convening a global ecosystem and marketplace through live experiences year-round that inspire and enable impact.
There is a truly global spirit here. This may be happening in San Francisco, but you can really feel that energy from Latin America, the energy from Asia, the energy from Africa.

Social Entrepreneurship
SOCAP Fellowship
The SOCAP Fellowship is just one example of how SOCAP uplifts social entrepreneurs from around the globe and intentionally connects them to funders in a direct and holistic way.
SOCAP is key and imperative to every social entrepreneur. It helps you learn about what is happening in the world and at the same time, experience an event where you find like-minded people and expand your network and knowledge.
