The global purpose summit (GPS) is the first annual event to take on the foremost business challenge of our times: finding a fruitful balance between a corporation's need for profit and its social responsibility.
There is a tension between business and society that must be resolved. Main Street sees large companies as profit-motivated institutions lacking social conscience. Wall Street views companies with social conscious as lacking profit motivation.
The Global Purpose Summit will reconcile the contradiction between making money and improving public life. GPS will show how purpose-inspired business can elevate both society and the bottom line, how it can, in fact, be the saving grace for society.
Through an open panel dialogue of purpose-driven leaders, GPS will enable the audience to understand the power of Purpose – emphasizing that to succeed today, business must be both a financial force as well as a force for good.
BrightHouse CEO Joey Reiman will deliver his keynote, “Can Business Save the World.” Following, the GPS panel of visionary leaders will share best practices, financial and social results, as well personal stories reconciling the contradiction between economic and social value.
GPS is the new coordinates for business.
