SEA has changed the dates for the 12th Social Enterprise Summit, which will take place next year in Chicago. The Summit is now scheduled for Monday through Wednesday, October 31 - November 2, 2011 at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile hotel. The Alliance moved the dates from the Spring of 2011 to the Fall in order to avoid a conflict with the 4th Social Enterprise World Forum in South Africa April 5 - 7. Additional details about the 2011 Summit will be forthcoming later this summer
