FOR SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS IN SCOTLAND

Sign up for the bulletin

 

Event : Organised by CEiS, in partnership with RBS, The Big Lottery, Scottish Government, Kibble, The Wise Group, HIE and Lanarkshire Enterprise Services, this year’s Scottish social enterprise annual conference: Realising Potential – next steps for social enterprise in Scotland, will bring together social enterprise leaders, practitioners, supporters and policy makers to establish a vision for social enterprise in our communities.

 

As we face the longer term impact of the global financial crisis there is an opportunity to understand where support has been effective in delivering growth and creating value. Our speakers will highlight best practice as well as reflecting the potential of social enterprise to deliver national and local outcomes and fulfil its potential in rural and urban communities in Scotland.

 

Innovative methods of gathering feedback and vision forming will be used to produce an account of participant thoughts, views and recommendations.

 

Scotland is recognised as having one of the most progressive and supportive environments in the world for social enterprise. This event will welcome observers interested in learning from our Scottish experience to inform their own national programmes, while contributing their experiences to our discussion.

 

The conference will attract audiences including:

 

· Social Enterprise Leaders and Practitioners

· Strategic Agencies and Intermediary Organisations

· Policy Makers and Government Officials

· Third Sector Organisations and Intermediaries

· International guest contributors

· International Participants from Finland

· British Council International Participants
