I've been to many events and found this one to be the most engaged group of people, willing to support, collaborate, and provide genuine support.
I was blown away with the level of vulnerability, insight and learning SVI presented…it was beyond my expectations.
SVI:Alberta is burst of energy! A conference unlike any I've attended—it attracts the makers, the doers, and the dreamers in our community.
A special gem of an experience…highly recommend!
If you are wanting to get inspired, connected, and refreshed then SVI is the place to go.
SVI: Alberta was nothing short of transformative. This is a must-attend event for anyone serious about making a sustainable social impact.
Social Venture Institute: Alberta has sold out every year! Attendance is limited!
We do things a bit differently here in Alberta. And we also saw more and more people committed to the radical idea that business could be based in social mission and impact. So we partnered with Hollyhock, who for 25 years has been convening investors, innovators, and leaders. Social Venture Institute has contributed to a global movement of socially responsible entrepreneurship. With Social Venture Institute: Alberta, we hope to build on that movement and support the unique needs of Alberta based social- ventures.
SVI: Alberta is for social-venture leaders to build connections with like-minded peers and learn more about socially responsible business in an atmosphere of trust and goodwill. SVI: Alberta is highly interactive and experiential with a strong focus on peer-to-peer learning, working alongside other social-venture leaders in this one-of-a-kind community. Its unique format is designed to achieve out of the box results, and rejuvenate entrepreneurs' passions and visions.
