SOCAP Open

SOCAP Open 2026 Launches March 16! 

For over a decade, SOCAP Open has helped shape the agenda of SOCAP Global’s flagship event—inviting innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers to define the conversations that matter most. As global challenges intensify, the need for practical, solution-driven collaboration has never been greater.

In 2026, SOCAP Open is designed to move beyond problem awareness and into collective action. We are calling on leaders who are actively testing and implementing solutions—and who are ready to share tools, frameworks, and lessons the community can apply immediately.

SOCAP Open is more than a call for content ideas—it’s a platform for co-creation. No one-way presentations. No problem recaps. Selected sessions will actively engage participants in experimentation, skill-building, and solution design. Attendees should leave with tangible insights, capabilities, and connections they can put into practice right away.
Selected sessions will be integrated across SOCAP26’s content tracks, amplifying underrepresented voices and spotlighting organizations creating impact on the ground.

Selected speakers will receive a complimentary ticket to SOCAP26, valued at $1,999.

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

• Spotlight new and forward-thinking voices driving impact on the ground.
• Prioritize underrepresented, under-resourced, and emerging organizations.
• Lead with solutions—demonstrate practical models, pilots, or tools that are actively being tested, implemented, or scaled
• Design highly participatory sessions that center co-creation, experimentation, and hands-on learning.
• Equip participants with actionable skills, frameworks, or methods they can immediately apply or replicate.
• Foster deep connection, vulnerability, and authentic collaboration across perspectives.
• Encourage healthy debate and challenge conventional thinking to push the field forward.
• Surface what’s missing—what critical solutions or conversations are not yet happening in the impact space?
