FOREWORD
Its my very great pleasure to welcome you to AVPNs first annual conference. I am pleased to say that the conference was oversubscribed and we have delegates from over 30 countries. I would like to thank our speakers and panelists. We have 76 speakers from 18 countries. These are all very experienced and senior individuals who have committed their time and traveled thousands of miles to share their knowledge with us. So why are we here the short summary is that we are all committed to driving social change using our financial capital, our human and intellectual capital, and our networks. Venture philanthropy/social investment can improve outcomes in any area of social need including children, environment, education, health, economic empowerment etc. So how can each of us obtain the most value from the conference? 1. Listen, ask questions. Question how the sessions can affect your own strategy and implementation plans. 2. Identify relevant ideas and operating methods which could be applied to enhancing operations in your particular sector. 3. Network with others to identify common interests and potential ways to collaborate. 4. Share your learning and experience with others. As a new organisation, we are pleased with our progress but we are just scratching the surface. Please help us engage with others so that the network can become both wider and deeper. Last but not least I want to thank the AVPN team for the tremendous effort they have made in putting this conference together along with the other work they have done with workshops, webinars, and general membership services. With a combined staff of only 4 you can only imagine how hard the team has had to work. I hope you find this a productive and enjoyable conference and look forward to further engagement with you.

Interactive Panel: European and US Perspectives on Venture Philanthropy Venue: MRA, Level 5
Venture Philanthropy commentators, including AVPN, have often cited organisations like Impetus Trust (UK), Private Equity Foundation (UK), New Profit (US) and Social Venture Partners (US) as leading practitioners of VP and Social Investment (SI). These organisations in turn operate in a different context that impact their overall effectiveness. What does the leading edge of venture philanthropy or social investment look like outside of Asia?
