Hi – I wanted to invite ELMAR subscribers to the 2nd Annual B Corp Academic Retreat that will be held in Toronto Oct 4-5, 2017. This two day workshop brings academics from business schools around the world to work together on research around benefit corporations. If you want to learn more about benefit corporations you can find information here: http://benefitcorp.net/

To sign up for the conference: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2017-global-b-corp-academic-community-roundtable-tickets-35731869985

Here you will find information about the event and also travel grants for those who couldn’t otherwise make the trip.The grants are being sponsored by the IDRC of Canada. We particularly encourage academics from Latin America to apply. The conference fees are just $50 because of our sponsors. Learn about the impact that B Corps are having on business practices by joining us in October.
