This article provides a roundup from day two of the SOCAP16 conference. Anderson and Militzer share an overview of several sessions and topics covered, including: impact assessment—placing conversations about social metrics at the forefront, addressing the need for greater scale, “opt-out” environmental and social investing strategies, the next new thing in Silicon Valley, a discussion of the state of the field, and more. They also quote GIIN Senior Manager of IRIS and Impact Measurement Kelly McCarthy about the significance of impact measurement and management and the direction the industry is headed in.
