Presented by the Vancouver-based Social Purpose Real Estate Collaborative and the Denver-based Non Profit Centres Network, the conference focuses on the tools, networks, strategies and opportunities for providing space for social purpose/non-profit activities in our communities. From social service centres to artist studios, offices for non-profit organizations to childcares, real estate (especially if you live/work in Vancouver) can be one of our greatest challenges. Working collectively to overcome that challenge, is one of our greatest strengths. Please consider joining us at Building Opportunities 2015!
This year’s Building Opportunities conference, co-presented by NCN and the Social Purpose Real Estate collaborative, features:
- Over 40 sessions in seven tracks
- Keynote by Dr. Avi Friedman, Canada’s guru on housing innovation
- Plenary on creative placemaking, a practice that leverages the power of art, culture, and creativity to catalyze community growth and transformation
- Boot camps for new shared spaces and business planning
- Site tours in Vancouver as well as other travel opportunities
Thank you very much for tipping us to this conference. So much of the really innovative and exciting work in city-building and place-making is being done by mission-driven organizations. Can’t wait to meet and learn from leaders across Canada and the US!
