Submitted by asalzman on Mon, 05/10/2010 - 08:36

Princeton Entrepreneurs’ Network (PEN) is officially launching a Social Enterprise Track of the organization. Launch events will take place at PEN’s National Conference on May 28th, 2010 at Princeton University, during Alumni Reunions.

The Social Enterprise Track seeks to serve as a meeting point for Princeton University alumni, students/professors, and individuals/organization beyond the Princeton University community, across sectors and disciplines for collaboration on ‘tipple bottom line’ for-profit business, and venture philanthropy.

The Social Enterprise events, as part of the May 28th, 2010 National Conference agenda, are listed below. Highlights include a keynote address by Ken Brenner (’89), founder of Legacy Direct and the Legacy Connect platform, a social enterprise business plan competition featuring four finalists from regional pitch events that took place earlier this year, panel discussions hosted by Ben Shell (’05) and class of 2005, and an end of day tent reception.
