The founders of the Purpose Summit 2025 (PS25) in Charlotte, May 13-15, have announced the following enhancements for the upcoming year’s program, which last year attracted hundreds of companies from around the world on a shared path to purpose leadership, many of which included multiple executives to foster greater alignment.

All at one venue. In response to the overwhelming demand for convenience, the entire event will be held at the Sheraton-Le Meriden Complex May 13-15.

Deeper “how to” talks. There will be more emphasis on “how to” sessions by leaders of companies who are walking the talk.

Dedicated tracks. Recognizing the different types of organizations drawn to a conference about purpose, next year’s event will feature tracks for three different types: for-profit, fon-profit, and faith-based.

More connection time. Given that the most valuable part of the Purpose Summit has always been the relationships that are formed, the friendships that are forged, and the collaborations that are born, the event will feature more time for connection and collaboration time, according to Lisa Oprita, Chief Experience Officer.

More exhibitor space and time. Based on the growing number of exhibitors and sponsors continues to grow each year, day one of the summit will include a dedicated “Regiception,” a lounge built around the main ballroom with exhibitors offering services to support purpose leaders.

More dietary options. The upcoming year’s food vendors will provide more vegetarian and gluten-free options throughout the event.

Open award nominations. In addition to the Purpose Leadership Awards (PLAs), which are now open for nominations at the link below, people can also nominate a speaker or featured author to present or hold a book signing at PS25. Nominations for the PLA’s, speakers, and authors are now available here.

Room blocks and summit pricing. Based on the fact that this year’s room block sold at the Sheraton-Le Meriden hotel, PS25 organizers recommend that organizations reach out to event management at the contact below to get placed on a reservation list. Organizations on this list will receive a link to register for the room block at the discounted rate as soon as it opens.
