This is the third year that the submit is running and it has sold out in 2010 and 2009 so we advise that you secure your place now to avoid disappointment.
Theme
The theme this year is debunking the hype around social enterprise and getting to the facts about the future of social enterprise.
We've asked social entrepreneurs what they wanted from this year's event, and built a programme which will examine what social entrepreneurs, commissioners, investors and policy makers need to do to ensure that the sector thrives in these difficult times.
The day will be more interactive than ever - with networking sessions, panel debates and practical case studies - all providing insights for social entrepreneurs who are either delivering public services or who want to scale up to do so.

• regulation
• service improvement

The Guardian Social Enterprise Award
We are seeking out the UK's most promising social enterprises who have the potential to deliver greater social impact. Maybe it's a local venture that shows promise, and which you think could be scaled up to deliver across the country? Or it might be an idea which you know could be rolled out on a broader scale, but you need more support to make that happen. For more information and to enter click here
