Become a Partner

The only conference where cause and business meet.

For over 20 years, the Engage for Good Conference has been the premier Corporate Social Impact Event, bringing together business leaders, non-profit and corporate practitioners, and technical experts to learn how to build partnerships that benefit the cause and the business. 

Join us this April in Palm Springs to gain practical skills, hear inspiring keynotes on cutting-edge ideas, explore emerging trends in CSR, DEI, and ESG, and connect with the people who will help take your impact to the next level.

MAKE CONNECTIONS THAT MATTER

The Engage for Good Conference brings together social impact professionals from both nonprofits and corporations, offering a unique platform to learn, connect, and grow. Every year, new partnerships are forged, existing collaborations are strengthened, and innovative ideas emerge. With a focus on collaboration, the conference unlocks new ideas for social impact that elevate both the cause and the business.

TURN INSPIRATION INTO ACTION

Get inspired on our main stage, where thought leaders will share groundbreaking strategies for corporate and nonprofit partnerships across diverse cause sectors. Then, take your expertise to the next level with tactical breakout sessions and hands-on workshops. These sessions are designed to offer in-depth insights and actionable takeaways, tailored to help you tackle complex challenges and elevate your impact.

LEARN FROM THE BEST

Every conference pass includes a ticket to the 2025 Halo Awards Gala, a celebration of the best and most innovative corporate social impact campaigns of the past year. In this year’s conference, we’ll be diving deep into the strengths of the winners, enabling you to take lessons from these campaigns and apply them to your upcoming work.

Whether you’re a seasoned CSR professional or new to the work, you’ll attend sessions that will impact your day-to-day work and make you a better leader with topics like team management, cross-functional collaboration, getting buy-in, and maintaining motivation during challenging times.
