What if We Spark a Marketplace Revolution?

We know there are problems. Let’s work on solutions.

We have an unprecedented moment to do things differently. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought our systems and economy to a near standstill. People around the world are asking: How we can Build Back Better?

The old ways, the old models, won’t work. We have to get beyond business as usual.

Join us to learn practical applications for shaping the Social Value Marketplace.

These workshops will be pragmatic. We will learn AND create together. Our aim is to connect social enterprises, social purchasers, and social financiers and to DO things together to advance our mutual interests and cause. Our intention is to invite new people in, cross-siloes, and begin new collaborations.

Two pre-launch huddles with people spanning silos and the country surfaced three workshop themes.

In the Grand Scheme of Things They:

• Expand the Circle of Awareness and Grow the Movement
• Cultivate Collaboration Amongst Members of the Movement
• Get Down to Brass Tacks and Practical Tools

Social Value Marketplace Workshop 3

Tuesday, December 8, 2020 from 10:00-11:30 a.m. PST / 1:00-2:30 p.m. EST

What If the Tools and Templates Were Available to Speed Our Progress?

The good news is that they are! Buy Social Canada and others who are active in the Social Value Marketplace have already done great work to create tools and templates to address legal concerns, shape deals between social purchasers and suppliers, and structure financing that suits the aims of social value creation.

We know that in the first two workshops, the sparks of new relationships will fly. As collaboration moves from connection to contracting, we will all need templates and tools we can use as a starting point for thriving relationships moving forward.

As a result, this third workshop will offer a marketplace of tools and templates for you to explore. We will create space for people to access the support they need and try out hands-on approaches to build the social value marketplace.
