2011 Impact Investing Summit The Impact Investing Summit (iiSummit) aims to mobilize the power of private capital in the Midwest for social and financial return. Impact investing is an emerging asset class that is gaining increased recognition from institutional investors, high net worth individuals, and private foundations. In this nascent industry, there is a range of options around financial returns, type and location of investment, and potential exits. The iiSummit will bring together national experts in this field—including members and advisors to private foundations; State Department and SBA representatives; and institutional, venture capital, and individual investors—to explore impact investment options for the Midwest.

Invited Keynote Speakers Dave Kirkpatrick, SJF Ventures Sasha Dichter, Acumen Fund Dave Chen, Equilibrium Capital Wes Selke, Good Capital & Hub Ventures Tom Balderston, Investors' Circle & Patient Capital Collaborative Patrick Fisher, Creation Ventures Deb Quazzo, NeXtAdvisors Karen Lehman, Fresh Taste Initiative Keith Crandell, ARCH Venture Partners and Clean Energy Trust
