Living a Life with Purpose, as a Community of Purpose, doing Business on Purpose
Here’s a look at our 2025 event
As part of B Corp month, the Bristol & Bath B Local will be hosting PurposeFest at Bristol Beacon, Bristol
If you are already a B Corp, on your B Corp journey or simply using your business as a force for good, then PurposeFest is a great place to learn, share and network together.
It is for communicators, founders, teams, agencies, change-makers, decision-makers and those who are curious. Those who want to make a difference but are not sure how. Those who want to hang out with inspirational people already leading the way. Those who need to re-charge, re-imagine, re-connect for the future ahead. Those who love a good conversation between the conversations. Somewhere to get yourself out of your day to day mindset and provoke some debate about the difference you can make.
The day will also leave space to network with many people who feel the same and want to be agents of change. As a community, we are working to shape our future for the better.
