A Look at the 2019 CEO Summit

Business As A Place, Source, and Force for Healing

Each October over 200 CEOs dedicated to building conscious businesses gather together at the Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit to be inspired, to share tools and best practices, and to connect with one another. This year we focused on why Conscious Capitalism needs to exist and how we can build and lead organizations that matter.

The purpose of business is not to make profit. The purpose of business is to produce profitable solutions for the problems of people..

In the end 183 of our CEOs signed the statement and the reaction really, completely shocked us. We knew that this would be news but, to date we’ve had about 29,000 media mentions.

“With a sincere thank you – it has changed my life and I hope next year I can share what we have done after this Summit. I need to go back and heal myself and find my real purpose. I would like to be able to help others more everyday.”

“I learned that I need to have courage to go further with the principles we state, but don’t always live.”

“Love the inspiring stories of growth and the vulnerability and openness of presenters.”

“Truly Inspirational!”
