Social Business Day is organized every year to discuss and celebrate the groundbreaking idea of social business. The event also creates an opportunity for participants to engage in various interactive panel sessions and workshops to broaden their understanding in their specific areas of interest.

This event marks the beginning of a new development in social business arena as it will inaugurate the newly-established Social Business Convention Centre (SBCC) at Zirabo, Savar, Dhaka, the new home of Social Business Day.
There will be another new feature this year. Countries which will bring more than 20 delegates are invited to organize a Country Forum. The Forum will exclusively discuss the potential for social business action program of that particular country. The discussion will take place in the language of that particular country headed by practitioners of different country.
In addition, the event will host several exciting plenary and interactive concurrent breakout sessions.

This will be a theme of one of the plenary sessions.
Like every year, there will be a Social Business Marketplace to showcase the products/services of the most promising social business ventures and new entrepreneurs.
