Description
Champions Retreat is heading to Canada in 2024!
Join us March 18-22 in Vancouver, British Columbia — the traditional ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations — for a week of education, excitement, and engagement. Champions Retreat is the key catalytic and inspirational event for the B Corp movement, connecting and mobilizing values-aligned people from across the U.S. and Canada using business as a force for good.
This year’s theme, Restore, will engage attendees on a journey towards personal and collective restoration. We’ll explore the power of healing in community to unlock new ways of thriving for people and the planet. Now is the time to embrace interdependence, regeneration, and collective care.
