Every year the Social Capital Markets Conference brings together a diverse community of leading entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, and innovators. The community that came together at the Fort Mason center for SOCAP16 included over 2,500 changemakers from 60 countries around the world.
At this year’s conference we sent a team of volunteers out with a dry erase board, a camera and a question. They asked everyone they met at the Fort Mason Center: What is Inspiring You Right Now? Their celebrations were inspiring to us and we thought they might be to you too. Here are some of our favorite responses:
