The Social Innovation Conversations initiative was made possible through the partnership of the Center for Social Innovation and The Conversations Network.

Part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Center for Social Innovation inspires, educates, and connects social innovators. The Center engages with MBA students and practitioners through a portfolio of leadership development programs and publications.

The Center publishes Stanford Social Innovation Review (SSIR), the leading publication for executives at nonprofits, foundations, and socially responsible businesses. The quarterly journal chronicles and advances the exchange of ideas between sectors to foster innovative solutions to social problems.

With the Social Innovation Conversations podcast, the editors of Stanford Social Innovation Review, Eric Nee and Alana Conner, share new and provocative ideas for social and environmental innovation and make them available for all to hear.

They bring you the recording of selected Stanford and other remarkable speaker and conference events and interview series.
