Please join NYU Stern's Berkley Center for Entrepreneurial Studies as we convene an invited group of over 100 leaders to our Fifth Annual Conference of Social Entrepreneurs: Measuring Social Impact.

By bringing together leading experts from the public, non-profit, for-profit and academic fields committed to furthering the field of social impact measurement, our conference will present strategies and techniques on how to measure an organization’s social impact in a consistent and meaningful manner.

As the social entrepreneurship field has matured, our ability to measure the impact of a venture’s efforts still remains a significant
challenge for most organizations. By gathering a diverse and committed group of leaders like yourself to talk, listen, and work together, this conference will provide the:
  • LATEST APPROACHES AND PRACTICES IN ASSESSING SOCIAL IMPACT
  • LESSONS LEARNED IN OUTCOME MEASUREMENT
  • HOW TO LEVERAGE EXISTING RESOURCES, TOOLS, AND OTHER METRIC INNOVATIONS FOR TOMORROW
We have planned the conference with significant input from an advisory group composed of representatives from the following organizations:
  • ACUMEN FUND
  • ECHOING GREEN  
  • BLUE RIDGE FOUNDATION NEW YORK
  • NEW PROFIT  
  • ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION
  • MONITOR  
  • ROBERTS ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT FUND
  • BLENDED VALUE
Our conference will feature panel discussions, a live case study, and speakers from many of the leading organizations on measuring social impact, including Mission Measurement, Acumen Fund, Rockefeller Foundation, Robin Hood Foundation, Bridgespan, and the Center for What Works to name a few. Our keynote speakers: Mark Kramer, Founder and Managing Director, FSG Social Impact Advisors and Jason Saul, Founder and President, Mission Measurement.
