Good Business Summit 2026


Category: Good Business Events

The Good Business Summit is a one-day immersive experience in downtown Charleston, sparking new ideas and workable solutions for building your business with profit and purpose. We convene the best and brightest business and community leaders to give you the tools and inspiration to grow, prosper, and give back. You’ll leave with meaningful connections and a clearer sense of how your business can show up in the world and for your community.

Whether you’re craving inspiration, connection, or purpose – you’ll find it here. Across the intentionally-crafted day, you’ll gain new insights, deepen your network, and energize your business’s next steps.

¿Hablas Español? In line with our priorities to make this Summit as accessible as possible, live Spanish interpretation will be available during the morning main stage presentations.

"I've attended the past few years, and in addition to learning more about how to add more soul to the work that I do, I've met so many incredible individuals. ... You should come! All proceeds go directly back into LLF, a nonprofit that wants nothing more than to help local businesses be a force for good!”
