7 Things You Should Not Miss At SensAbility 2015

Seven Things You Should Not Miss At SensAbility 2015 Tomorrow is the day – SensAbility will kick off! Two sensy days of socializing, inspiration and refreshing minds lie ahead. What will be the things you absolutely should not miss?

#1 Our Networking Lounge.
Don’t miss the unique opportunity to socialize with sensy participants like you at our Networking Lounge. After our dinner on Friday evening, our Lounge offers music, drinks, and snacks besides the great opportunity to get to know the other participants, exchange ideas about social relevant topics and easily develop new contacts.

#2 Our Market of Opportunities.
If you are looking for a job in a social business or already have developed your own creative ideas for a social start-up, at our Networking Fair on Friday afternoon, you get the chance to meet social entrepreneurs, establish business contacts and talk about job opportunities in the social sector.

#3 Our SocialPitch.
We believe that innovative business models should be supported. That’s why we introduced the SocialPitch@Sens in 2014. If you have applied for the SocialPitch on Friday, you can pitch your social business idea in front of experts and investors within the social entrepreneurship scene. The prize is funding up to the amount of € 50,000 to kick off your business plan as well as valuable advice and support from experienced entrepreneurs.

During our Speeddating, you get the chance to meet and establish contacts with social entrepreneurs from five different social businesses in a cozy atmosphere: Pure Food, Frischepost, DasEis, Premium Cola, and The Changer.

We invited experts from a variety of different backgrounds to a Panel Discussion guaranteeing an exciting and diverse controversy you definitely should not miss! Patrick Bales (COO Bonaverde), Uwe Bergmann (Head of Sustainability and CSR Management at Henkel), Dr. Michael Bornmann (CEO DEG Invest), and Paul Ziemiak (Federal Chairman of Junge Union Deutschland) will discuss this year’s conference’s motto: “Refreshing minds – Redesign a profit-oriented world”.

Amongst others, Felix Oldenburg, CEO Ashoka Germany and European Director, as well as Tony Meloto, the founder of Gawad Kalinga – a Philippine-based movement with the aim to eliminate poverty for 5 million families by 2024 – will present inspiring talks about social business.
