Day Two of SoCap is about to get underway. There are a couple morning plenaries to get things moving, followed by more sessions than you can shake a stick at. I'll be attending the morning keynote with Katherine Fulton of the Monitor Group (who headed up just an awesome project on philanthropy which you should check out), and the plenary that follows with Jed Emerson (of, well, everything blended value), Matthew Bishop (new book: Philanthrocapitalism) and David Chen (Equilibrium Capital). After that I'm hoping to go to sessions focused on everything from ICT for development to African private equity firms. Should be a good day.

Conference convener Kevin Jones said that he hopes that today helps people recognize that this movement is "big, its real, and even in the middle of a massive downturn its still growing. It's a good place to invest your hope (your money and your time)."

Nathaniel Whittemore is the founder of Assetmap. Previously he was the founding director of the Northwestern University Center for Global Engagement.
