Social Value Summit 2019

All of the best examples of social value share one key characteristic – exceptional leaders. Leaders who can put forward a compelling vision and bring their organisations on a journey. Delivering this vision will require leadership from all sectors – from politicians, civil servants, chief executives and vice chancellors understanding the contribution they can make.

Social Enterprise UK and King’s College London have come together to present the Social Value Summit in partnership with Engie, Anthony Collins and Social Value UK. This exclusive summit will have a handpicked delegation of leaders from across government, business, higher education and social enterprise to discuss how we can effectively embed social value across all sectors of our economy and society.

We will look at issues around building effective strategies, nurturing the right culture, engaging stakeholders and overcoming barriers to implementation drawing on insights from a range of sectors. This summit will also send a powerful message that social value is the future.

Our shared challenge is creating a community of leaders that can drive the social value agenda over the coming years.
