There hasn’t been that much news on the Harvard conference, in fact I could not find a single news story covering it. So I thought I would list the people who have blogged about the conference:
Capitalism4Good discusses the keynotes and the “Pitch for Change”. The other very cool item from this blog is “a new website and email service called EventAlert, designed to provide a monthly summary of upcoming CSR-related conferences and other events.”
Mozilla Seth was a judge for the “Pitch for Change”competition, 2 of the 3 winners were health related ventures. For a judge’s perspective see his post.
Changing the Pyramid has nice overview from the conference and some interesting observations about conference demographics in terms of discipline. I highly recommend this blog.
AIDG, One of our favorites has two great posts. One covers a panel entitled – Making People Care. Cat also has a detailed review on the morning keynote by Victoria Hale and her efforts to bring drugs for neglected diseases to market. There is a r nice breakdown of Dr. Hale’s advice to starting up your own venture.
SharingWitness has more details on Victoria Hale’s keynote, see “New Medicines for the Poor“.
Marc Gunther was a panelist on the CSR and Climate Change panel. He currently writes for Fortune Magazine and is the author of “Faith and Fortune: How Compassionate Capitalism Is Transforming American Business”.
TreeHugger has a very basic overview, maybe there will be more to come.
The Inspired Economy blog has a post not on the Harvard conference, but another upcoming Boston conference on water and environmental issues, check out the info on the Advancing Sustainable Prosperity Ceres conference.
Aman! Thanks so much—no one is convering this except the people you link to…this is great.
[...] Aman at Technology, Health & Development has a linkfest devoted to the Social Enterprise Conference. From that list, I especailly enjoyed posts by Catherine Laine at AIDG and Bill Shore at Sharing Witness about a presentation by Victoria Hale, whose nonprofit pharmaceutical company Institute for One World Health focuses on diseases that disproportionately affect developing countries.
