Closing Session

Key-Note Speech: “The Science of Making the World a Better Place”: What separates the most successful social change campaigns from those that fail? Dr. Scott Sherman spent seven years researching how people win when they are trying to change the world. In this presentation, he talks about his surprising findings. Most of the traditional attempts to change the world, including politics, law, and even science, were unsuccessful. The most successful strategies looked much like the new field of social entrepreneurship. In this short presentation, Dr. Sherman will discuss why social entrepreneurship is one of the most promising ways to change the world.
