The Feast Social Innovation Conference coming to NOLA

There’s been a lot of buzz about the New Orleans 100 list that AllDayBuffet.org launched on 8/25 with the ambitious goal of garnering 1 million pageviews over the next year. The list was a great compilation of all of the great businesses, social organizations, and movements happening in New Orleans right now, post-Katrina.

The folks behind the list are putting on a social innovation conference in New York in October called The Feast. It’s got a great roster of speakers including Robbie Vitrano from Trumpet.

Mike Karnjanaprakorn dropped the news in an email yesterday that he is bringing the conference to New Orleans next year.

He is planning to bring the conference to New Orleans, on or around February 5th, 2009. This is a fantastic opportunity for New Orleans to continue to position ourselves as the social entrepreneurship capital of the world. With all the activity right now, we have the opportunity to show that we “get it” with regards to the importance of business being socially responsible.

Put The Feast on your calendar for February and stay tuned for more details. You heard it here first folks!
