21. How to access impact leaders that create tomorrow's global solutions
Social Enterprise Networks are connecting entrepreneurs, supporting leaders and driving a global movement. In order to create real change, dynamic interactions and multi-stakeholder partnerships across these networks are critical to making the radical changes that we know we need. By the end of the session you will learn how to access these impact leaders and how to create meaningful partnerships to create real impact.
