(B) IN COMMUNITY
OUR EVENTS RANGE IN SIZE AND SCOPE, BUT ALWAYS DELIVER INSIGHTS AND INSPIRATION. FROM COMMUNITY SLAMS AND MOVIE SCREENINGS TO EDUCATIONAL WEBINARS AND INFORMATIVE PANELS, WE BRING EVERYONE ALONG FOR THE IMPACTFUL RIDE.
TIME TO COME TOGETHER
As we work to grow the B Corp economy, it's essential that we galvanize community and fuel engagement around B economy values. B Local NYC events do just that by bringing awareness to issues of the day and uncovering ways to take meaningful action -- in community -- with NYC leaders in sustainability and social impact.
Together, we transform business and inspire the change we want to see.
