John,
As you may know, each year SOCAP invites its community to submit and vote for the panels and conversations they'd like to see. This year, three Common Future-led SOCAP sessions have advanced to the voting round. These sessions represent an opportunity to show what's possible when non-extractive and reparative capital is made accessible.
We invite you to vote for these three sessions, as well as take a look at the many partner-led sessions below.
