SOCAP25 Agenda
🗓️ October 27-29, 2025 | 📍Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, CA
Three days of catalytic content, cross-sector collaboration, and bold ideas to take impact mainstream.
This year marks a pivotal evolution in SOCAP’s 17-year journey, as we reimagine the start of our gathering with the launch of Capital Connections Day. Developed in direct response to consistent feedback from across our community, this new opening day addresses two persistent challenges: the difficulty in connecting capital with impact and the need for more meaningful, action-oriented engagement. Capital Connections Day is designed to cultivate deeper, more intentional relationships—rooted in trust, shared purpose, and a collective commitment to transformative change. By creating this space, we aim to strengthen the connective tissue of our ecosystem and spark collaborations that last well beyond the event.
What to Expect: Day-by-Day Highlights
Monday – Capital Connections Day
Start with Connections. Build Toward Collaborative Change.
Expect a new, dynamic kickoff to SOCAP with immersive sessions designed to move beyond the traditional conference structure—each intentionally designed to connect participants in meaningful ways.
Capital Connections Day is focused on activating relationships: attendees will engage in candid, peer-to-peer discussions that surface shared challenges, identify investment opportunities, and explore innovative approaches to deploying capital.
A variety of session formats will be used to foster trust and catalyze cross-sector relationships that will carry over to the rest of the event.
More than networking, this is where intentional connection-building begins. Attendees will leave with insights and relationships that extend throughout SOCAP25—and well beyond.
