See highlights of the world's biggest social enterprise event, the Social Enterprise Exchange, in our photo slideshow diary.

Over 1,150 people gathered at the event in Glasgow to hear from leading social enterprise, political and business leaders, including Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna, Paul Monaghan of the Co-operative Group, and experts from big businesses including Deloitte and Santander.  

Social Enterprise Exchange aimed to share learnings from the sector, examine what “good” business looks like and establish how the business world can better work together to achieve greater social impact.

The event was a huge success, and helped stress the importance of social enterprises in the UK’s political and business landscapes.

Social Enterprise UK would like to thank the event's headline sponsors - the Cooperative Group and the Scottish government, as well as Social Enterprise Scotland - our event partner, and CEiS - the event management company.
