About Our Conference
The New Workforce
Humanity & Belonging
The Purpose Economy
Businesses have the opportunity to build a just, thriving, and transformative economy that works for all people and the planet.
Through collaboration, we can transform our organizations, communities, and economy by embracing new ways of work and the workplace itself, creating communities of belonging, revolutionizing economic models, and shaping a future built on our shared humanity.
This full-day hybrid event will bring together thought leaders from throughout the state and nation for provocative conversations inspired by a keynote address on "Hope Through Our Shared Humanity" and nine workshops focused on the leading-edge of social and environmental impact. For those who attend in-person, there will be ample opportunities for networking and meeting our exhibitors in Hula’s beautiful space!
Hula is located at 50 Lakeside Ave, Burlington, VT 05401.
