November 30, 2017 High Water Women Investing for Impact Symposium
We are pleased to announce that Governor Deval Patrick,  Managing Director of Bain Capital Double Impact , will join us for an afternoon interview on the big ideas and trends shaping impact today.

We will challenge the thinking of the status quo with a meticulously curated program that examines where impact investing can be taken by investors and global practitioners. The emphasis throughout this daylong event is on action and on empowering the participants. The timing of this year's event will also allow us to reflect on developments in 2017, discerning the best ideas and practices to carry forward.

Our panels and workshops will provide many opportunities for impact's most innovative thought leaders, practitioners and investors to engage with each other and with our audience in one-on-one discussions throughout the day. See our 2017 Agenda.

Comments from the 300 investment professionals who attended:

"I think there is a firewall between an investor's desire to do impact investing and where to go to do it. What's really great about a conference like this is that we can begin to peel back... this is where you can go. Kudos to High Water Women for bringing these companies and investors together to dig into the puzzle."

"Incredible conference for women in finance and impact."

"Proud to partner with High Water Women on an excellent, substantive & stimulating Symposium."
