At SOCAP, we believe in the power of diverse perspectives and collective wisdom to unlock capital for impact. SOCAP Open is at the heart of this ethos, inviting contributions from our dynamic and ever-growing community to shape the dialogue at our flagship event, SOCAP24.

SOCAP Open offers individuals and organizations the chance to showcase innovative ideas, delve into impactful solutions, and open conversations about pressing issues on the SOCAP stage. We prioritize individuals who have not yet had an opportunity to share on a SOCAP stage and voices that bring fresh insights, amplifying new ideas and solutions.
