Be Part of CMI Vancouver 2026
This September, CIRES is collaborating with the Scale Institute to host Connect Money Impact in Vancouver on September 17, 2026, where we will dive deep into topics relevant to social enterprise entrepreneurs, impact investors, and ecosystem builders, exploring how capital, business, and community can work together to create lasting positive impact through innovative ideas, meaningful collaboration, and stronger, more resilient communities. When you register, do so based on which of the three categories you identify with most: Entrepreneur, Investor or Ecosystem Builder. During the event, you will have the opportunity to connect with folks outside of your category and find others experiencing the same challenges you are.
We’ll explore how to connect capital with community to support our social enterprises, leverage blended finance for social and financial returns, and build systems that go beyond capital alone to create long-term impact in uncertain times.
The day will culminate in a thoughtfully curated session and a chance to network over drinks and snacks to build relationships that will last far beyond this one-day event.
Entrepreneurs
Expect sessions to include:
- New opportunities for developing impact business that are financially sustaining
- Innovative finance: thinking outside the box to drive change
- Access to capital across the full capital continuum
- Building an enabling system for entrepreneurial success
Investors
Expect sessions to include:
- Investing in our local economy for long-term impact
- Connecting Community and Capital
- Investing in community assets and ownership for economic resilience
- How impact investing can be truly impactful
Ecosystem Builders
Expect sessions to include:
- Power-sharing and collaboration for community change
- Strengthening local networks for collective impact
- Building systems that support entrepreneurs along their journey
- Creating stability in uncertain times through ecosystem strategies
