Those who know, know: finding your place in the impact economy takes a deeper understanding of the forces at work, the key players, and the latest solutions they're shaping. And the 2013 Net Impact Conference in Silicon Valley this Oct. 24-26 puts you right in the middle of it all. Part of the allure is in the diversity of topics represented at this year's event. You'll meet people who are building a more sustainable food chain, you'll learn how experts are applying technology to their impact work in creative ways, and so much more. With eleven tracks to choose from this year, you can dive head first into the causes and approaches you're most passionate about, or test the waters to see what opportunities await. So which tracks speak to you this year? Explore some of your options...
