CC2017 In Review

It’s official. Conscious Capitalism 2017 was our best spring conference yet!

With speakers including REI’s Jerry Stritzke, Greyston Bakery’s Mike Brady, Great Place to Work’s Michael C. Bush, THINX’s Miki Agrawal, Back to the Roots’ Alejandro Velez, Dansko Footwear’s Mandy Cabot, The Motley Fool’s Tom Gardner, The Vanguard Group’s Jack Bogle, The Container Store’s Kip Tindell, Whole Foods Market’s John Mackey, and many others, CC2017 is for sure to be remembered for a long time.

Couldn’t make it? While we can’t recreate the intimate camaraderie, fun and energy associated with our spring conference for you, we will be sharing video from these inspiring speakers in the coming weeks. So, stay tuned!

In the meantime, we’d like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to all of our participants, speakers, practicum leaders and sponsors. Conscious Capitalism’s tranformational events would not be possible without you.

If you weren’t able to join us this year – or would just like to relive this amazing experience – below are links to some of the media attention around CC2017 and our top-notch speakers. Also, be sure to check out our site for the CC2017 gallery and visit us on Facebook to tag yourself and share photos with your tribe!

Believe it or not, planning for CC2018 is already underway! Keep an eye out for our “Save the Date” information coming soon. We’re going to do all we can to top CC2017… and we can’t wait to see you there!
