Greater Purpose Conference 2025: Why This Moment Matters | October 27–28, 2025 | The Carlu, Toronto
Brad Offman • September 18, 2025

The future of business in Canada isn’t being imagined in isolation. It’s being built together. And nowhere is that more evident than at the Greater Purpose Conference.

This year, we return with renewed energy, a bold new brand, and a powerful belief: business can, and must, be a force for good. Held at Toronto’s historic Carlu, the 2025 conference promises deeper dialogue, stronger connections, and the debut of the Greater Purpose Awards, Canada’s first national recognition platform for social purpose leadership.


So, what makes this gathering different?
It’s the people.


The Greater Purpose Conference isn’t a typical business event focused on networking quotas or polished pitches. It is designed for connection and conversation — the kind that builds real relationships and sparks lasting collaboration. This is where corporate leaders, social innovators, and changemakers from across sectors come together to learn, connect, and lead with impact.


“I left inspired, connected, and ready to lead with greater clarity.”
— Past Conference Attendee


This year’s conference builds on that legacy with:


  • Fresh Voices: New speakers at the forefront of purpose-led innovation

  • Deeper Conversations: Sessions that don’t just inform, but challenge and mobilize

  • National Recognition: The launch of the Greater Purpose Awards, celebrating leaders redefining what’s possible in Canadian business

This is a rare opportunity to convene 400 purpose-driven professionals in one room. Rather than scattering across parallel sessions, attendees move through a shared experience together. With a thoughtfully curated single-track format, every session is designed to spark connection, collective learning, and momentum that carries beyond the room.


Whether you're advancing ESG, reimagining culture, or launching a purpose-first company, this event is for you. It’s more than a check-in. It’s a checkpoint for a growing movement.


Join us and be part of the community rewriting the rules of business. Together.
