Possibility Summit is a half-day conference where we gather to learn from local social entrepreneurs who will share their stories, ideas, and experiences as they continue to use business as a platform to do good work and create change.
Social entrepreneurs are applying business models to solve unique social challenges in our communities every day. These entrepreneurs are developing and implementing solutions that focus on social, cultural, or environmental issues.
This event, previously known as the Possibility Symposium on Social Business, is the sister event to Prairie Capital Summit. Take a look at photos from our most recent Possibility Summit!
Goals of the Summit
- Inspire and create buzz around what’s going on for social driven work in our region
- Elevate those doing social entrepreneur work
- Make space for connecting people to each other and resources
Who will benefit from this event?
Those that will benefit from this event are varied: non-profits, innovators, organizations, foundations, universities, community builders, business leaders, and anyone involved in impact-driven work will all be able to take away something from Possibility Summit.
What is a Social Entrepreneur?
Any entrepreneur or founder that pursues a model of business that solves community-based problems. These are individuals that take risks and think outside the box in order to make a difference, no matter how big or small.
