Agenda
The Social Venture Institute model is based on peer-to-peer learning and connecting you with business experts and enterprise leaders with stories and lessons to share.
After optional yoga and paddle sessions, mornings start with Case Studies. During Case Studies, we hear from a leader as they openly share a key business challenge. A panel of experts and the gathering as a whole offer constructive feedback, advice, and direction.
Afternoons focus on learning opportunities through one-on-one expert meetings, workshops, and skills training.
Each night, we present a True Confession keynote speaker. During these revealing sessions, we hear from inspirational leaders who share their trials, tribulations, and triumphs in creating businesses that matter.
Evenings are also alive with Ignite presentations, music, socials, dancing and the magical Hollyhock campus under the stars, oceanside fire-pit circles, and rich connection time. It all happens in one of the most beautiful places on the planet: Cortes Island.
Our delicious farm-to-table meals glue the conference community and agenda together.

They’re shorter versions of the case study model where presenters lay out their challenge and the participants in the room ask clarifying questions and offer advice.
