US SIF ANNUAL CONFERENCE The US SIF Member Day and Annual Conference offer a unique opportunity to network with leaders of the sustainable, responsible and impact investing community and to learn about new approaches, trends and policy developments in the field. The conference serves both institutional and retail markets and attracts representatives of investment management and advisory firms, asset owners, research firms, financial planners and advisors, broker-dealers, and community development institutions, along with policymakers and corporate leaders.

Since 2011, our event has drawn professionals from the investment, business, civil society, government and non-profit spheres. Our content is cutting edge, covering a broad array of topics and issues that are deeply relevant to the financial professionals who attend the conference. Please find all of our conference speakers, sponsors, attendees and agendas here.

ABOUT US SIF US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment is the leading voice advancing sustainable, responsible and impact investing across all asset classes.

US SIF offers opportunities for members to enhance their professional expertise by being part of an active community of practitioners, participating in programs including webinars, Member Day events at our conference and engaging in US SIF committees.

Through outreach to both federal legislators and regulators, we advance public policy initiatives

which include better corporate reporting on environmental, social and governance indicators, shareholder rights, addressing climate change and financial reform. We provide opportunities for members to be active in policy through our annual Capitol Hill Day. Through focused media and public engagement, we increase public awareness of and demand for sustainable and impact investing. Members benefit from increased public exposure to the field through press events, media referrals and media activities.

We also highlight our members’ work, research and sponsorship of US SIF initiatives.

We convene and provide networking opportunities for the breadth of sustainable investment practitioners through our national conference and at events nationwide.

“It’s a great group of participants and the content is really geared toward ESG professionals in a way that most conferences are not.”

“The networking was fantastic. The energy and focus of impact investors is unparalleled. The variety of information and perspectives presented was great.”
