SEC Impact Exchange 2026
On April 22, 2026, Social Enterprise Chicago convened an intentionally small, invitation only, focus-group-style conversation, in partnership with Entrenuity, convening leaders collaboratively across the social enterprise, investment, policy ecosystem to voice what Chicago’s impact economy truly needs.
Important topics discussed were: Technological Equity & AI, Political & Government Risk Resilience, Leadership for Sustainable Impact, Business Model Innovation, Advancing Social Policy, and Capital Activation & Impact Investing.
It was inspiring to see so many leaders, innovators, and advocates come together in one room, to share their knowledge, experience, ideas, and perspectives. These events are powerful when people come together to engage in open and honest dialogue about sustainable impact and community growth.
