Babson College, Wellesley MA

TiE-Boston, Boston University and the Net Impact Undergrad, Babson College present ForSE 2009: Forum for Social Entrepreneurs, which will be held at Babson College on October 23rd 2009.

The Forum for Social Entrepreneurs (ForSE) brings together social innovators with leading business professionals, investors, donors, government officials, academics, and students to facilitate the sharing of new technology and business ideas along with hard-earned management learnings to foster informed discussion and action on new social venture concepts. The response last year to previous forums has been overwhelming.

This is your opportunity to identify and recruit talent, meet potential partners to support your new idea, share best practices with peers, and interact with senior executives from Boston’s leading companies, non-profit/social ventures, foundations, philanthropies, and beyond.
