#SocEntChat with Toronto’s Emerging Innovators

12pm Eastern Time

Join the Twitter chat (#SocEntChat) using the #amexleads hashtag, and debate with the 2015 Class of Toronto Emerging Innovators on the future of social innovation. This is your opportunity to hear what they learned at the American Express and Ashoka Boot Camp (the second of five being held around the world this summer), ask them about sector-specific solutions, and meet other young problem-solvers.

Each of the Toronto Emerging Innovators received advice from established innovators, one-on-one guidance from some of the best minds in business, and picked up how-tos in funding, scaling, communicating, mentoring, and networking. The idea is to provide them with the training and guidance to allow them to achieve even greater impact—and serve as inspirations for the next generation of changemakers.

What is a #SocEntChat?

Twitter Chats (#SocEntChats) are real-time, Twitter-based discussions about social entrepreneurship. They are designed to provide a forum for participants to share ideas, identify the latest innovations, and pinpoint areas that require deeper exploration.

Joining the Conversation?

Joining the conversation is easy. Just log-in to Twitter account a little before 12 p.m. ET on July 8. Then:

  • Use the #SocEntChat hashtag to make your comments visible in the stream, and you have extra characters to spare, use #amexleads as well.
  • Use search.twitter.com or an application like Tweetdeck (www.tweetdeck.com) or thwirl (www.thwirl.com) to follow the hashtags and keep up with the conversation.
  • Introduce yourself and take a minute to get to know the other chatters when you join.
  • @Changemakers and @AshokaCanada will moderate the discussion and send questions to the whole group.
  • Send your questions to @Changemakers without the hashtag (to keep them out of the stream) so they can be considered for this conversation.
  • Stay on topic, be respectful, and have fun!

Until then, keep in mind the advice that McClimon had for social purpose leaders in the 21st century: “Be flexible, be adaptable, be open-minded. Think globally, act locally. And think locally, act globally.”
