Open Season for CSR Conferences

In the grander vision of this blog, I'll have an entire website with an "events" section for conferences and the like - so stay tuned! In the meantime, there's a very useful list of upcoming conferences at On Philathropy, including events by:

• The Conference Board (February 27-28 in New York City)
  
• Ethical Corporation (March 21-22 in London)
• The Center for Corporate Citizenship at Boston College (March 25-27 in San Francisco)
  
• Business for Social Responsibility (October 23-26 in San Francisco)

Also, Harvard Business School (my primary employer) is holding its annual Social Enterprise Conference on March 4th. Speakers include:

• Daniel Doctoroff, deputy NYC mayor
• Cheryl Dorsey, president of Echoing Green
  
• Victoria Hale, founder of One World Health
• Sara Horowitz, founder of the Freelancers Union

Lunchtime activities are the "Pitch for Change" competition (deadline Feb. 23) and several small-group lunches (sign up early!). The day ends with a Career Fair. Cost is $40 for students, $90 for professionals, discounted for Harvard affiliates.
