Overview
The Social Outcomes Conference (SOC21) is the annual convening of the world's leading researchers, policymakers and practitioners working to improve social outcomes. As in previous years, the conference will feature discussions on the latest thinking and findings from academic research, alongside insights from the emerging practice across different geographies, disciplines and policy areas.

Conference themes
This year's conference is built around five key themes:
- Outcomes-based contracting
- Outcomes orientation
- Measuring outcomes and value for money
- Procurement and social value
- Government, business and civil society collaboration in places
These theme are all underpinned by a single core question: how can government combine its multiple roles – sometimes as provider, funder, facilitator, and regulator – to support activity which improves social outcomes?
This year's keynote speaker: Professor Joseph Stiglitz
We are delighted that Professor Joseph Stiglitz will be delivering the Social Outcomes Conference 2021 keynote speech on Thursday 9 September at 1 pm BST.
