San Francisco

More than 1,200 investors, entrepreneurs, financiers, nonprofit officials, foundation executives, and donors have gathered here for Social Capital Markets 2010, a meeting that conference organizers describe as being “at the intersection of money and meaning.”

Discussions will focus on the range of ways that investment, enterprise, and business-minded approaches to giving are being married with a desire to do social good in areas such as education, food systems, and international development.

Scheduled speakers include Matt Flannery, chief executive of Kiva.org; Julie Sunderland, senior program investment officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and Willy Foote, founder of Root Capital, a nonprofit organization that makes loans to agriculture businesses in Africa and Latin America.

Live streaming video will be available throughout the meeting on Monday and Tuesday at http://video.socialcapitalmarkets.net.

We will post updates here throughout the conference.
