Bringing together social entrepreneurs, impact investors and ecosystem builders for a day of inspiration, learning and connection.
Do you have a social enterprise that needs investment? Are you an investor wanting to create impact? Are you eager to learn about what is happening in the impact sector?
Now in its sixth year, Connect Money Impact is a gathering of impact-focused entrepreneurs, organizations, investors and ecosystem builders.
One day, three tracks, countless connections
Communities are facing urgent crises from housing to climate breakdown. At CMI, we connect people and resources to amplify solutions already making a difference. Whether you join us for one event or both, you’ll engage with social entrepreneurs, impact investors, and ecosystem builders committed to tackling society’s most pressing issues.
Experience a day of inspiration, learning, and collaboration. Move beyond introductions to meaningful conversations that spark change. Explore profit and impact intersections, community wealth building, and impact investing.
