2018 – Edinburgh
Theme: Inspiring a new decade of impact
Scotland was delighted to host SEWF a decade on from hosting the inaugural event in 2008. Returning to Edinburgh with CEIS as event host, SEWF aimed to show how one of the leading social enterprise nations had continued to make progress by creating a world class social enterprise ecosystem. This served as a great platform for discussion with international social enterprise leaders, policy makers, academics, young people and supporters.
