This event is being held in Edinburgh, Scotland on 2-5 September 2008.
The Social Enterprise World Forum emerged from national social enterprise support agencies seeking a means to collaborate to advance social enterprise development throughout the world. The Forum will be the first international gathering of practitioners and support agencies dealing exclusively with social enterprise and will bring together social enterprise leaders and champions from all continents to collaborate, share best practice and plan future developments. The Social Enterprise World Forum will examine the conditions needed for social enterprises to thrive, highlighting outstanding examples of innovation and best practice from around the world. Participants will engage with representatives of governments that are actively supporting and promoting social enterprise and will analyse the challenges of changing world and local markets. This collaboration will raise awareness of social enterprise as an expanding global mechanism for social change and will explore the merit of ongoing collaboration for key stakeholders.
