B Corp Champions Retreat 2026

In a world where the pursuit of equity and social progress feels more fraught than ever, what does it look like to build the relationships your work actually needs to succeed?
In this session, The Brand Scientist™ N. Chloé Nwangwu explores the science behind building social gravity: the collection of forces that make it easier for the right people to adopt the ideas and behaviors your work calls for.
You’ll learn a practical, instantly applicable framework for building a circle of recognition – a strategically designed network that amplifies your ideas, fuels collaboration, and strengthens relationships with the stakeholders who shape the decisions you’re looking to influence. And you’ll be equipped to try it out at the Champion’s Retreat, right away. 
We all understand the promise of conferences. They can spark partnerships and momentum that build our businesses and advance social change. But all too often the reality of networking falls short–feeling complicated, performative, time-consuming, and draining.
This session will help you replace scattered networking with intentional relationship architecture. You’ll leave with a repeatable system for building networks that move people — not just exchange business cards.
Whether you’re representing your company, leading a team, or simply seeking to contribute more meaningfully to the B Corp movement, you’ll discover how to turn every interaction – here at the Champions Retreat and beyond – into a deliberate act that secures the future you’re working to build.
