Focusing Your Impact

Economic Equity

Businesses who EMBRACE CHANGE gain an immense opportunity.
HERE AND NOW, we can build workplaces, partnerships, and relationships grounded in dignity and empowerment. We can bring innovation and practicality to decisions that right-size our relationship to the natural environment and our communities. We can reimagine and take inspired action toward a just, thriving, and transformative economy that works for all people and the planet, fueled by what’s possible.
This full-day, in-person event will bring together thought leaders and changemakers from throughout Vermont for provocative conversations inspired by a keynote address on “SEIZING THIS MOMENT,” facilitated dialogues, panel discussions, and workshops focused on the leading-edge of social and environmental impact, and unique, interactive experiences.
Woven throughout will be ample opportunities for networking and meeting our exhibitors in Hula’s beautiful space!
