The History and Future of Social Innovation Conference aims to examine key issues and trends in social innovation and the factors that may influence or inhibit innovation.  It provides a rare opportunity for cross-institutional and multi-disciplinary dialogue to examine ideas and factors around social innovation and to consider how to move from the rhetoric around social innovation to the reality.  The breadth of the conversation will be wide-ranging, from abstract discussions about innovation, to practical considerations; from building effective cross-sectoral coalitions for innovation, to creating strategies for supporting best socially innovative practice.
