The countdown is on, with Early Bird tickets in their final weeks and our list of presenters growing, we wanted to share the top 5 reasons you need to be at Purpose 2023 on 8-9 November.
 

Purpose in business - ie. addressing climate, ESG, biodiversity, resource scarcity, inequality and the ‘economy of meaning’ - is officially a mega-trend according to multiple sources such as Deloitte, the UN and the CSIRO.  It is the biggest challenge and the biggest opportunity of our lifetime and it will inevitably only become a bigger force as the challenges continue to bite. At Purpose we acknowledge the reality that lies ahead but we also learn how to adapt, join forces, harness momentum and thrive in the future.

 

These huge changes require us to step back from our everyday, shift our perspective and explore brand new narratives about our economy and our businesses. Purpose creates space for deep reflection, learning and thinking outside of our current reality.  Among our program of cutting edge thinkers, we are fortunate to work with a group of First Nations advisors and presenters providing us with the opportunity to explore deeply different world views, solutions and opportunities.

 

 

Over 800 movers and shakers will descend upon Carriageworks, bringing their diverse backgrounds and unique experiences together to help solve a shared problem. We’ll be facilitating networking, introductions and interaction with others to spark collaboration,  amplify your impact, and perhaps even find you the co-founder, investor, customer or the job of your dreams. 

 

 

Purpose’s program of workshops, keynotes and peer-to-peer learning, offers practical insights, trends and need-to-know skills in the worlds of strategy, transformation, ESG, innovation, brand-building, community, climate and movement-building. Over 50 presenters will be announced over the coming weeks including, Sophia Hamblin Wang of MCi Carbon, Climate Adaptation Specialist Digby Hall, Seaweed Bioplastic Innovator and Founder of Kelpy, Fionnuala Quin, Ronni Kahn of OzHarvest Ventures, and Diversity & Inclusion leader Shantel Wetherall to name just a few of our presenters.
 

 

We’re not like other conferences, in fact to use the term is almost a disservice. Since we held our first Purpose in 2015 we’ve become famous for being a generous, delicious (!), human and beautiful event to attend. We work hard to think about how you move, what you see, what you hear, how you feel and the quality of connections you make. It’s all of this that make Purpose the most un-conferency of conferences. We work super hard to keep the event affordable and accessible for everyone who wants to join us for the two days.

 

Purpose sells out each time it's held, so consider this an invitation and request to ‘RSVP’ by securing a ticket, so we know you want to be there and can make sure we keep you a spot.

 

Purpose is a genuinely transformational event that will ignite your purpose, fuel your drive, and connect you with a global community of change agents.
 

Join us at #Purpose2023 and be part of a movement that’s redefining business for good.
