The time for talking is over. This September, join us at the largest-ever gathering of B Corps to harness the power of people using business as a force for good. We’ll be bringing this growing community of 2,000 B Corps together, putting ideas into action and tackling the issues that matter. Let’s create the change we need right now, together.
LOUDER THAN WORDS
No two B Corps are the same – but we all agree that business needs to change. B Corps are doing the hard work to make that change happen right now. Louder than Words will celebrate our differences and harness that commitment to action to create an event like no other, embracing creativity, connection and debate. Working alongside activists, allies, local communities, ‘B’ curious businesses and the B Corp community, it will be a space to challenge ourselves and each other to go further, faster.
There is now a community of over 2,000 B Corps in the UK, with leaders from businesses of all shapes and sizes who know that business as usual doesn’t work for everyone. Louder Than Words will be the first time this extraordinary group is together in one city.
Movements can’t be contained. They need to be set free. Our fringe-style event will be taking over the city of Oxford for two days, proving that the B Corp movement is ‘louder than words’.
Say goodbye to the typical format of linear agendas delivered in one place. You’ll see fresh content delivered differently, with headline moments from the main stage at Oxford’s New Theatre alongside wider events and activities to choose from across the city.
