The San Diego Microfinance Summit brings together students, business owners, members of the community, microlenders, bankers, academics, and many others to learn, network, and become more involved in microfinance.  The summit highlights both international microfinance issues as well as the local micro-lending climate.  Participants hear from both microfinance professionals and clients throughout the day, in addition to enjoying lunch and an artisan marketplace provided by local clients who are financed by local microfinance organizations. The afternoon mixer provides an opportunity to network with students, microfinance professionals, microfinance clients and more.
