Hall of Impact Submission Guidelines
The Hall of Impact is a showcase, both digital and in-person. Projects address legal innovations around social entrepreneurship, impact investing, and sustainable development.
Participants may choose to present their work through visually engaging posters displayed throughout the IILWG/Grunin Center Annual Conference on Legal Issues in Social Entrepreneurship and Impact Investing — in the US and Beyond and during a dedicated interactive Hall of Impact Showcase before the Grunin Prize Ceremony and Cocktail Reception on June 2, 2026.
Selected projects will be displayed on printed posters and in an accessible digital gallery year-round. To ensure clarity and accessibility, we have set structured word limits and a standardized format.
The Grunin Center accepts Hall of Impact submissions year-round, but if you are interested in sharing a printed poster at the 2026 annual conference, please submit your project here no later than May 1, 2026.
