Mission Forward! MIE’s 2018 National Conference | May 14 – 16, 2018 | Chicago, IL
Join the Mission Investors Exchange in Chicago for their 2018 National Conference, “Mission Forward!”, the pre-eminent impact investing conference for foundations and their partners. Produced every other year, the Mission Investors Exchange conference is one of the most anticipated events for impact investors in philanthropy, offering an action-focused, collaborative, and personal space to renew and build partnerships, experience on-the-ground impact investments, share investment opportunities, meet leading voices in the field, and shape the future of the impact investing movement.
The 2018 conference will focus on bold innovations in the field and the unique leadership role of philanthropy in the impact investing marketplace. We’ll cover topics including:
- Going Big: What does it look like to grow foundation impact investing programs in ambitious, still-unimagined, and courageous ways, no matter what your resources are? Explore how foundations are pushing the boundaries of scale, including investing from the endowment and 100% for mission.
- Driving Innovation: How are foundations demonstrating leadership in this space, putting catalytic ideas into practice? Sessions will feature new investment products, platforms, and tools, and developing philanthropy’s vision for the future of our global financial markets.
- Building Partnerships: How can this network rapidly mobilize, collaborate, and partner—both within and beyond philanthropy—based on a common vision? MIE will highlight unique and effective partnership models, such as place-based collaborative investing, sector-focused impact investment funds, Pay for Success initiatives, and other cross-sector opportunities to coordinate capital to make exponential impact.
- Championing Impact: How do we relentlessly raise the bar for impact, and what stands in our way? Examine the unique role that philanthropy plays in setting high standards for the field and keeping the ‘impact’ in impact investing, including developing impact measurement strategies.
