Moderated by Kiva co-founder and CEO Matt Flannery.

In this sure to be dynamic talk followed by a Q&A, Gilmore, co-founder and Executive Director of the Ottawa-based NGO Peace Dividend Trust, will discuss how social-minded entrepreneurs can make a huge difference in war zones. The winner of a 2010 Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship, Gilmore will highlight the work of Rory Stewart and the Turquoise Mountain Foundation, the Altai Group and Peace Dividend Trust.
