November 2004 School Wins Bid for Social Sector ForumMore than 1,000 visitors are expected on campus next year when the Business School hosts the 13th annual Net Impact Conference. Scheduled for November 11-13, 2005, the event will center around the theme "Social Innovation Without Borders: Reaching Across Sectors to Advance Social Change." Participants will range from working professionals to academics and MBA students who share an interest in applying business solutions to social sector problems. Net Impact began as Students for Responsible Business and grew into an international organization of some 9,000 business and nonprofit leaders and MBA students. Last year after attending the organization’s annual conference, a group of GSB students proposed Stanford as the venue for the 2005 event and cross-sector collaboration as its theme. They are now planning panels and recruiting speakers and sponsors. School Dean Robert Joss calls the upcoming conference “a significant undertaking” for the School. “This event represents an extraordinary opportunity to showcase Stanford’s global leadership at integrating entrepreneurship and social innovation in developing tomorrow’s leaders,” he said.
