How can you turn big ideas into sustainable social impact?

On Tuesday 20th of August, delegates from all over the country will gather together for the 7th Social Traders Conference themed ‘The State of Social Enterprise in Australia’This is a day open to all social enterprises and interested parties.

It is an opportunity to meet with, connect, reconnect and learn from the country’s largest gathering of social enterprise practitioners and understand the power of a purposeful approach.

This is the path that creates real change and brings disadvantaged people of all walks of life into the market: young people, people with a disability, long term unemployed or recently arrived migrants and refugees.

This year’s international guest is David LePage, Managing Partner of Buy Social Canada and Board Director on both the Social Enterprise Council of Canada and the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF).The program has been developed with input from some of Australia’s leading social enterprise practitioners including Cinnamon Evans (CERES), Matt Pfahlert (ACRE), Tom Allen (Impact Boom & QSEC) and Sharon Zivkovic (WickedLab & Community Capacity Builders).

Where do you start, how do you market your enterprise, what is the certification process, what is going on in rural and regional Australia, how do you access capital, what are the business tools you should be using, how should you measure you impact?

The second day of the conference on August 21, themed ‘The Power of Impact’, is a bespoke program open to certified social enterprises, with a focus on social procurement, interesting and diverse masterclasses, interactive workshops and great networking opportunities that include Social Traders business and government members. The Social Traders Awards 2019 will be announced at the end of the day.

We will be there, wearing multiple hats.

This year, we are not only visiting the conference as Social Impact researchers. We are now the founders of a social enterprise that alongside with its commercial projects empowers other social enterprises to maximise their positive impact.

We have partnered with Social Traders to capture the conference with our creative team and also deliver the event on social media and create what we do best: digital content.This is a great chance for everyone to see social procurement in action as certified suppliers, like us, will be covering the needs of the conference.

Our team will be at the Abbotsfort Convent in Melbourne. Our photographers and videographers will be capturing the conversations, the pitches, the dynamics, the inspiring stories, the trends, the knowledge, the celebration and the Social Traders team that has been leading the way and has changed the game in Australia.Make sure you follow the hashtag #STConference2019!
