The 6th annual ISEP Reunion will take place on Saturday 8th October 2011 from 09.00-19.00 in Berlin, Germany and is open to all ISEP Graduates.

The event will be held at IQ-Consult, an agency for social innovation based in Berlin and the Federal States of Brandenburg and Saxonia-Anhalt. Since 1994, they have developed projects in the range of start-up advice, social entrepreneurship, regional development and cultural consulting. Their aim is social innovation. The advisory approach used by iq consult is to increase the business starter’s ability to act and solve problems on their own.

The Reunion is organised primarily by Christine Driscoll, Associate Director on the INSEAD Social Entrepreneurship Team. If you have questions or comments for Christine, please contact her at Christine.driscoll@insead.edu or +33 1 60 72 41 28.

The main objectives for the reunion are:

• To reconnect with and meet new ISEP network members from various years, regions, and fields.
• To optimize sharing and learning by and among ISEP members through an “unconference” structure whereby the participants will be offering and leading sessions of importance to them. If you would like to suggest or lead a session, contact Christine.
• To learn about developments in social entrepreneurship specific to the German context by visiting with local social entrepreneurs.
• To discuss the current resources available to ISEP network members as well as the growth of the ISEP network going forward.
