National Volunteerism &  Philanthropy and Corporate Social Responsibility Conference 2007

30 & 31 Oct 2007
The annual National Volunteerism & Philanthropy and Corporate Social Responsibility Conference is back. It is the conference for the non-profit sector in Singapore, as well as for companies and government bodies that have a stake in community giving.

Building on last year’s theme of Doing Good Well, this year’s highly anticipated dual-track Conference will address the future of Singapore as a philanthropy hub, following the bold changes to the charity tax laws earlier this year. With the growth of Singapore as such a hub, the need to develop and professionalise the people sector by way of capability and skills development is more critical than ever before. The timely issue of restoring public confidence in the sector will also be addressed.

Prominent local and international speakers will engage participants on the topic of doing good and doing well as part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and for Non-profit Organisations (NPOs), the whole business of doing good well.
The NPO track will engage participants in a series of practical and topical issues, as well as showcase cutting edge best practices. Topics that will be explored include:
Time is Money – Using Volunteer Time to Raise Funds
Getting Top Management Support for Volunteer Programmes
Keeping Volunteers and Donors
Singapore as a Philanthropy Hub – What Gives?
The CSR track will enable participants to gain practical knowledge on CSR from experts and business representatives, as a competitive advantage in enhancing business operations and branding, as well as to create new market opportunities and partnerships. These sessions cover an extensive range of CSR topics, including:
Doing Good, Doing Well - Environmental Sustainability and Social Responsibility for Better Business
CSR Communications, Branding and Social Reporting - Building Trust and Reputation in both the Business Market and in the Community
Beyond Shareholder to Stakeholder - Building Social Capital, Growing New Market and Partnership Opportunities
Held annually, the Conference brings together and benefits a combined audience of over 600 corporate and non-profit leaders, as well as representatives from the public sector. 

Don’t miss this significant opportunity to learn and to network.
