As I mentioned in my last post, in the past few years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of gatherings and conferences for those interested in social innovation.  Here is just a sample of some of the most interesting conferences bringing together people working on and thinking about social entrepreneurship, social enterprise, social investing, and so on.  Many of them are happening this month. Those that have already passed will likely hold them again around the same time next year, so check back.
