Upcoming Events
Third Annual Social Business Conference
-13th November 2008
Following the success of our first two Social Business Conferences, we are holding our 3rd Annual Social Business Conference on the 13th November 2008 at the Emirates Stadium, London. As in our previous conferences, this will be exclusively for social business Chief Executives and a select number of investors.
The topic of our conference this year is: ‘Social Business: What do you really need?’
This one-day event will focus on the realities, challenges, and opportunities facing senior managers in this growing sector. Speakers – social business CEOs themselves, politicians and mainstream financiers – will provide real insight and pragmatic advice. As was the case at last year’s conference, speakers will welcome rigorous questioning.
If you would like more information or are interested in attending this event then please e-mail us on researcher@catfund.com or call 0207 281 5948. More information will soon be posted on this site.
