B1G1 BUSINESS FOR GOOD CONFERENCE 2026
IGNITE
A Bold New World
The businesses moving ahead aren't waiting to be asked — they're building differently, right now.
Two and a half days with the founders and leaders who are doing exactly that. Come and find your people.
14 - 16 June 2026
Two and a Half Days
Shrigley Hall
Near Manchester, UK
This is nothing like your ‘typical business conference’.
Here, growth meets meaning. Strategy gets focused and sharpened. Purpose deepens and you leave changed.
You enjoy two and a half uninterrupted days away from distraction together to build better businesses, stronger leaders and a collective force for good. This is not about extracting value, but sharing values. It's about contribution as opposed to competition.
It's real connection and real impact with JOY right at its core.
And yes it’s being bold enough to create a bold new world; one where we’re building great businesses and fostering humanity flourishing … simultaneously and together.
This is the place where you really belong.
WHY COME IN PERSON
4 Reasons to Be Here
Each one specific to this physical gathering and not available through a recording.
01
SESSIONS AND SPEAKERS
Conversations that change Monday morning
Every session is built around decisions you're actually facing. How to share your values with the people who matter most. How to lead a team around a shared purpose. How to make giving really integrated with what you do. The speakers join you in the audience. Because they came for the same reason you did.
"I came back with three things I changed immediately."
02
WORTHY CAUSE PARTNERS
The moment the numbers become a person
Many founders who care about impact have never met the people their decisions reach. Here the Worthy Cause partners behind real projects are in the room with you. At your table. Telling you — in their own words — what a business decision somewhere in the world made possible for them.
"I thought I understood what my giving meant. Then I sat across from someone whose life it had touched."
03
CONNECTION
A room where no one needs convincing
Sometimes, building a business that stands for something can be a slightly lonely project. You explain yourself more than you'd like. You soften your convictions for rooms that don't share them. At IGNITE, everyone already made the same decision you're making. The conversations start further along and the connections formed here last.
"I sat next to someone running a business almost identical to mine. We've spoken every month since."
04
PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS
Leave with something sharper than you arrived with
For founders: a giving story that's specific, tellable, and yours — one you can share with clients without flinching. For team leaders: a culture narrative your people feel on a Monday morning, not just read in an onboarding document.
If embedding impact into your business is something you've been meaning to figure out — you'll leave knowing exactly how to start. One clear next step. Not just a feeling.
1. Up Close and Personal
Every speaker, whether business leader or Worthy Cause Partner, shares openly and from lived experience. The stories are real. The insights are grounded. And the conversations don’t end when the session does. Speakers stay. They join discussions, share meals and learn alongside you.
2. Leadership in Uncertain Times
We are leading in times of uncertainty, where values are tested and pressure is real. The B1G1 Conference creates space to step back, reflect and strengthen your foundations. You leave better equipped than ever to face real business challenges with renewed vigor, insight and strategies.
3. Insights to Ignite Change
This is not a passive, sit-and-take-notes kind of conference. It’s hands-on and energising, filled with ideas you can put into immediate action. Together, we explore and workshop the latest strategies impact-driven businesses are using to stand out in the noise. You gain insights that genuinely shift how you lead and grow.
4. Inspire Growth That Matters
Reconnect with growth that feels aligned. When success, people and impact move forward together, momentum feels different. You step forward with renewed focus, stronger alignment across your work and a clearer sense of what truly matters next.
5. Expanding Partnerships
Be in a room where values come first. Join business owners and leaders building strong, profitable companies while contributing to something bigger than themselves. This is where meaningful collaborations begin. Where showing up represents what your business stands for and where long-term partnerships take root.
6. Road to 1,000,000,000
Align around the B1G1 Community's shared long-term ambition: creating 1,000,000,000 impacts. This commitment makes positive impact part of everyday business in a practical, credible and scalable way. Explore new ways of making impact creation so much easier.

Conference Day 1
On Day 1 we dive into the heart of the B1G1 experience. Connecting with purpose-driven business leaders, hearing powerful stories from Worthy Causes, and experiencing the impact we’re making together.
The day culminates with the exciting Impact Auction and Appreciation Dinner, where we come together to celebrate our collective impact and appreciate one another in this joy-filled evening.
Conference Day 2
The Conference concludes by 4:00 pm
On Day 2 we put every single thing into motion. Aligning technology, culture, and human connection to drive lasting impact. We’ll look ahead to the future, explore ways to accelerate our collective impact towards 1,000,000,000 and reflect on the legacy we’re building together.
From then on it's connect, connect, connect and ignite, ignite, ignite.

Shrigley Hall is intentionally located just outside the city to create an intimate and immersive Conference experience, while remaining easy to reach.
For those travelling by train, Macclesfield Station is less than two hours from London Euston and is the closest station to the venue. From Macclesfield, the hotel is around a 20 minute drive. Stockport and Hazel Grove stations are also nearby options.
Manchester Airport is the nearest international travel hub, with the venue approximately 20 minutes away by car, and central Manchester is around 40 minutes away.
If you are driving, the hotel offers complimentary on site parking, including electric vehicle charging. If you are open to sharing a ride or collecting others from the station, we are also very happy to help coordinate this and make it part of the connection experience.
While almost all of the delegates are B1G1 Members, the Conference is open to anyone curious about building a business that creates lasting value and real-world impact.
You’ll be alongside business owners, founders and leadership teams who care deeply about trust, purpose, and long-term success (who value meaningful conversation over surface-level networking).
The Conference is also an opportunity to learn from the lived experiences of Worthy Cause representatives who share their inspiring stories.
This is primarily an in-room experience designed for presence and participation. Limited recordings or summaries may be shared post-event, but the value is in being there.
You are very welcome to choose to arrive early or stay on to enjoy the surroundings, rest, or continue conversations. Discounted room rates are available with your Conference pass.
