B Corp Champions Retreat 2026: Ripples to Waves

Join us for Champions Retreat 2026 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Hosted by B Lab U.S. & Canada, Champions Retreat is the key catalytic and inspirational event for the B Corp movement in North America, where we’ll connect and mobilize values-aligned people and organizations to advance our shared vision of an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system. Champions Retreat 2026 is a space where movement builders gather to deepen connections, align on purpose, and move from ideas to action.

This year, we will unite around the theme, Ripples to Waves, capturing the idea that individuals and collective action—no matter how small—can generate powerful, lasting impact. Our theme centers the belief that every business, every B Corp, and every person in the movement has a role to play in building a more just and sustainable economy that works for the benefit of all people and the planet. This year, we honor those creating shifts in visible ways and those behind the scenes who are steady forces of good—setting standards, shaping culture, and influencing systems. Whether bold or quiet, local or global, incremental or abrupt, these efforts ripple outward to create waves of change.
