Learn how to release or enhance your entrepreneurial talents to benefit the world, whether you are just getting started or leading a multi-national.
The WildHearts GEL Summits bring together some of the world’s leading Corporate, Social and Founding Entrepreneurs to celebrate the power of entrepreneurship as a force for social and economic change. Following the incredible success of the Summits in Edinburgh and London, UK, WildHearts are launching the GEL in North America this September with Babson College, the world’s number one school for entrepreneurship.
Curated by WildHearts, a group of global social businesses based in the UK, our inspiring panel of speakers include British business leaders such as Bob Keiller (CEO of the Wood Group) and Claire Burton (Head of Corporate Responsibility at Deloitte UK); innovative social entrepreneurs including Jon Feinman of InnerCity Weightlifting and Gavin Armstrong of Lucky Iron Fish; and global experts on entrepreneurship such as Heidi Neck of Babson College. There will also be an exclusive discussion of ‘Project ROI: Making the Case for Responsible Business Practice’ with Cheryl Kiser, Executive Director of The Lewis Institute & the Babson Social Innovation Lab, and Dave Stangis, Vice President of Public Affairs and Corporate Responsibility, Campbell’s Soup.
More than ever before, we are seeing innovation encompassing both social and commercial value creation. The GEL Summit will foster an exchange of diverse perspectives on how entrepreneurship and CSR can be harnessed for talent retention and business performance in a variety of organizations. The day will be both inspiring and thought-provoking and an excellent opportunity to network with like-minded business professionals from across the U.S and celebrate business for good.
