Business as a Force for Good

Being a force for good is no longer just good for society, but a smart business strategy. 

This day-long conference includes inspirational panels, spotlight speakers and plenty of time for Q&As and networking. Join us on 9 October at the Hilton Hotel in Bournemouth and discover the rationale, insights, approach and realities on becoming more purpose-led in your organisation.

The event will be hosted by broadcaster Declan Curry, with keynotes from the world-leading speaker, changemaker and climate change consultant, Benita Matofska, and the political strategist, leading policy-maker and president of The Jobs Foundation, Lord Matthew Elliott.

Four panels, made up of experts, leaders and influencers in their specialists will share their experience and insights, as well as spotlight sessions.
