As the world grapples with the recent economic crisis, the exposure of unethical practices in the financial system, the emergence of the ‘Occupy’ movement, and global climate change, civic and business leaders are beginning  to realize the need for a fundamentally different approach  that goes beyond “business as usual”

It is no longer about CSR or tack-on sustainability initiatives, the business leaders of tomorrow need to know how business is fundamentally changing to address the environmental, social  and business challenges  of the future. There is an urgent need to drive ideas into actions. Welcome to the world of Capitalism 2.0.

The Net Impact Conference aims to equip professionals and MBA IMBA, MBA/JD, Master of Finance students with some of the knowledge needed to navigate this rapidly changing environment and create a space for the sharing of ideas, lessons learned learned and best practices.. Speakers at the conference will provide real life examples as to how businesses are currently innovating to shift the way they operate and the challenges and opportunities they are faced with in the process.  In many cases the system is changing as we speak.
