If you work at a social enterprise or are interested in the social entrepreneurship space more broadly, these social business conference spaces might prove useful. More and more, non-profits, businesses heavily invested in corporate social responsibility (and not just for marketing purposes) as well as social enterprises themselves are looking for spaces to meet that reflect the mission of their own organization.
From innovation hubs based in Austria to community cafes in the United Kingdom that attempts to reinvent the labor market, these social business conference spaces tend to do more than one thing. That is to say, these aren't traditional convention centers or event locations but rather they meld a variety of activities under one roof. The closes to the former type would probably be 16Hatfields, a sustainable conference company.
