This is not even close to your ‘typical business conference’.

This is a rare event.

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.

Date:  14 - 16 June 2026

Location: Shrigley Hall, Macclesfield

Below are commonly asked questions. Please contact us or explore our help center for more.

Can I bring my team members and additional guests?

Absolutely! Many delegates choose to attend with their team or invite trusted partners and peers and we'd love to meet them. Experiencing this Conference together creates shared language, alignment, and momentum that continues well beyond the event.

For groups of three or more, we also offer special group booking rates to make it easier to attend together. You can unlock these rates on the ticket booking page with the access code 'GROUP'.

Can my partner be part of the daily Conference activities too?

Of course! We encourage you to bring your loved ones along so they can share in this life-changing experience and join you in celebrating the joy together.

We also offer ‘dinner only’ passes for family members who aren’t involved in the Conference, but would like to join in at dinner time.

What kind of people attend the B1G1 Conference?

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.

Are the sessions recorded?

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.
