TOGETHER WE RISE

This year’s theme, Together We Rise, reflects the power of community, shared vision, and collective action. It’s a call to gather, grow, and build a future where doing more good is the foundation — not the afterthought — of business.

BUSINESS AS A FORCE FOR GOOD ISN’T JUST AN IDEA — IT’S A MOVEMENT.

You know there’s more to leadership than maximizing profits. ROI of Why is where values-driven leaders gather to explore what happens when purpose and performance go hand in hand. It’s real conversations, real transformation — and a community of people who believe in doing more good through business.
