Events

Christian Bason comes to MaRS for the first event of the Inspiring Action for Social Impact Series – a national program that presents international thought leaders, applied learning and practical strategies for social innovation in Canada. The Inspiring Action for Social Impact Series is presented by Social Innovation Generation (SiG), PLAN Institute and the Public Policy Forum. It will tour throughout Canada in 2011.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to an overwhleming response to this session with Christian Bason, we have reached capacity in CR-3 and are now taking bookings for an overflow room in CR-2. If you have booked a seat, please ensure you arrive early. If you are seated in CR-2 you will see and hear the presentation via video link and have an opportunity to submit questions via card. All questions will be collected prior to the Q&A and Christian will answer as many as possible in turn.
