About the Conference

This year’s Net Impact Conference spotlighted the many unexpected places people find where good works. Together, the world's most effective changemakers and most promising leaders explored:

Where creative problem solving and playful approaches can lead to serious solutions
Where sustainable innovations were championed by those you least expect
Where unlikely partnerships accelerate change

Net Impact brought its 19th annual conference to Portland, Oregon and discussed changing the world through business with 2,600 of our members and community friends.

Our event attracted MBAs, undergraduates, and professionals from a variety of fields, including consultants, CSR practitioners, nonprofit leaders, and sustainability specialists. Over three days, these individuals united at the LEED-certified Oregon Convention Center to tackle tough CSR and sustainability challenges, build their careers and professional networks, and participate in sessions that pushed boundaries and limits.

The Net Impact Conference is the world’s largest and most inspirational event for students and professionals using their business skills to create social and environmental good. We hope you'll join us for our 2012 event next October 26-27 in Baltimore, MD!
