The conference was founded in 1990 by George R. Gay, and grew from 45 to over 1,200 participants. Attendees include investment professionals in the SRI industry: licensed investment professionals, SRI mutual fund companies, asset managers, community development financial institutions, social research and proxy voting organizations, faith-based institutional investors, and social change non-profits. The SRI Conference, formerly SRI in the Rockies, convened throughout the United States, and occasionally in Canada.

The SRI Conference agenda was divided into four tracks: ESG Integration/Portfolio Management, Impact Investing, Shareowner Engagement, and Practice Management for Financial Planners and Investment Advisors.

In addition, selection criteria include a review of the venue’s environmental practices, the property’s carbon footprint, availability of locally grown and/or organic food products, access to public transportation, recycling practices, and cultural sensitivity to Native American or First Nations images, language, and cultural or religious sites.
