Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) Annual Conference 2023

The annual Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) is taking place in Amsterdam on 11th & 12th October.  As a member of Social Enterprise Northern Ireland, we have the following two options available to participate in SEWF: 

How to get involved (Read further details below)

• Attend SEWF Community Hub (Dublin) 
• Travel to the SEWF Event (Amsterdam)

Option 1: ATTEND SEWF COMMUNITY HUB (DUBLIN)

For those wanting to participate in SEWF23 on a local level, we are co-hosting an event in Dublin alongside SERI (Social Enterprise Republic of Ireland) on Wednesday 11th October from 10am to 1pm to bring together social enterprises from the North & South. The aim is to form partnerships and build future relationships and share best practice. This is just one of the many Community Hubs being held across the world which encourages knowledge sharing and allows members to participate without having to travel the world. 

We will be providing transport for our members to travel there and back on the day.

The SEWF Community Hub will be held at the award winning The Apex Theatre and will include in-person session and discussions. The conference will be live streamed from the event and influential keynote speakers will take to the stage to share their knowledge and expertise on Social Enterprise topics– more details coming soon.

This is an excellent opportunity to network and meet contacts both north and south of the border, so we encourage you to register now. If you are interested, please register your interest now. All individuals wishing to attend must register their interest, in order for us to arrange appropriate transport.

Option 2:  TRAVEL TO THE EVENT (AMSTERDAM)

If you wish to travel to Amsterdam for the event, we encourage you to attend and learn from thousands of social enterprise leaders and policymakers. You will have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the world of social enterprise at the world class conference.
