The Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship is a leading gathering for changemakers around the globe, attracting over 650 people from over 40 countries. Bringing together ground-breaking activists, politicians and the public sector, private individuals, funders, investors, and the media, the Forum serves as a crucible for the social entrepreneurship movement.

This year we focus on social innovation because while demand for new ways to resolve complex and pernicious social and environmental problems may be greater than ever, social innovation is yet poorly understood and the mechanisms for accelerating it weakly developed.

Among those who hope to assist you with new thinking and actionable ideas are thought-leaders Charles Handy, David Galenson, Geoff Mulgan, Charlie Leadbeater, John Elkington and Christiane Amanpour as well as seasoned innovators from the frontline such as Fazle Abed of BRAC, Larry Brilliant of the Google Foundation, Martin Fisher of KickStart, Nina Smith of Rugmark, Susan Marks of Search for Common Ground, Uffe Elbaek of KaosPilots, Boru Douthwaite from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, and Angela Wilkinson from the James Martin Institute for Science and Civilisation.
