The 2012 Socially, Environmentally and Ethically Responsible (SEER) Symposium has joined forces with The Entrepreneur's Journey to bring students and social entrepreneurs together with inspirational  business leaders who have achieved success using the four major components of the SEER philosophy: corporate social responsibility, environmental stewardship, financial strength, and great product/service.

The third annual SEER Symposium (formerly Magill Symposium) invites the business community to explore the nature of values-centered businesses (for profit and non-profit) and the creative strategies these leaders use to design, define and differentiate their organizations while staying true to the mission of the SEER lens.

Our exceptional panel of speakers includes best-selling authors and high-flying entrepreneurs who have successfully combined profitability with environmental stewardship and social responsibility in the production of their own quality product or service.

  • LEARN what innovative thought leaders in entrepreneurship have to share about discovering new business with unconventional creative strategies.
  • NETWORK with accomplished business owners and professional pioneers who have made names for themselves with spearheading vision.
  • REINVENT yourself as an entrepreneur by rethinking the way you approach social responsibility.
  • GET INSPIRED to develop your own clever blueprint for a values-centered, successful business.
