SOCAP Open Submissions Are Now Closed –

Community Voting Will Start on March 31st

For the past 11 years, SOCAP Open has invited thought leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers worldwide to shape the content at our flagship event. This year, under the theme The Future Is Collaborative: Taking Impact Mainstream, we reaffirm our commitment to breaking silos and driving systemic change.

We believe collaboration is the key to unlocking capital for impact and catalyzing transformative progress. That’s why one-third of SOCAP’s programming is community-driven—designed by and for the impact community!

SOCAP Open is more than just a call for submissions—it’s a call to action. This is your opportunity to break silos, challenge assumptions, and collaborate in bold new ways. We invite you to take the stage, share transformative ideas, and lead action-oriented conversations that push impact beyond discussion and into the mainstream.

Selected speakers will receive a complimentary SOCAP25 ticket, valued at $1,999!

As you prepare your SOCAP Open submission, consider the following:

• Highlight new and forward-thinking voices
• Underrepresented, under-resourced, and new organizations will be prioritized
• Highly participatory session structures will be prioritized 
• The ability to bring topic-expert speakers 
• Guide our community in being vulnerable and connect in new ways
• Be inclusive, diverse, and global
• Bring healthy controversy and challenge echo chambers 
• Equip others to replicate successful approaches
• What are we not talking about in the impact world that we should be talking about?
• Review SOCAP25’s Theme and Tracks to ensure alignment
