Benevity Live! has become the destination for professionals from across the industry gather to hear what’s possible — and see what’s already working in practice. Every year, hundreds of CSR and impact leaders gather to share and collect clearer strategies, stronger networks and the confidence to lead their programs forward.

Whether you’re a Benevity Live! veteran attendee or a first-timer, here are ten reasons to be there this June.

1. Gain insights from real-world stories

Every year at Benevity Live!, a lineup of industry leaders share how they are redefining what’s possible in CSR — and this year is no different. Hear firsthand from Benevity clients, including GE Appliances, Elastic, eBay and Wells Fargo, and nonprofit partners on how they are redesigning social impact programs to show up in new, unexpected and deeply human ways, right when people need it the most.

2.  Earn CPE credits

This year, we've partnered with the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship (BCCCC) to offer a highly interactive workshop — included in your registration at no extra cost. You'll walk away with the frameworks leaders use to align social impact programs with core business strategy, two official NASBA-aligned CPE credits and an exclusive Benevity discount code to apply your credits toward full BCCCC certification programs.

3. Get exclusive access to the 2026 State of Corporate Purpose Report

Be the first to see the data. Get early access to Benevity’s State of Corporate Purpose Report — one month before public release — which highlights bold, industry-shifting findings on the future of purpose-led business and the insights you need to stay ahead.

4. Solve challenges with your peers in Community Huddles 

Some of the best learning at Benevity Live! happens in facilitated conversations with peers navigating the exact same challenges you are. Whether you’re looking for industry-focused conversations or topical sessions on building ambassador programs and elevating grants programs  — we’ve planned a Community Huddle designed to meet your specific needs. Come ready to share tactical advice, find peer reassurance and build a support network.

5. Explore the newly designed Product Playground

We've completely reinvented the Product Playground for 2026. Staffed by technical experts who live and breathe the Benevity Enterprise Impact Platform, this space features interactive demo stations designed to bring specific capabilities and use cases to life. Want to see how a particular workflow functions? Curious about how the platform fits your program's unique needs? This is your space to get hands-on with what's possible.

6. Build meaningful connections 

We've curated moments specifically for connection — including a restorative wellness lounge. From meals to lounge conversations, you'll find the space to swap stories, exchange ideas and build career-lasting relationships.

7. Future-proof your impact strategy 

Benevity Live! is about equipping you for what’s next. You’ll leave Scottsdale with a clear vision, a stronger network and actionable insights to elevate your role and lead your impact programs with more confidence. 

8. Make an impact through hands-on volunteering

It wouldn’t be Benevity Live! without a chance to do some good. Last year, attendees showed up in a big way, assembling 200 stuffed animal and bracelet kits, 250 care packages for the Mizell Center and 25 pet beds for the Palm Springs Animal Shelter in a single volunteering session. This year, we’re building a handful of volunteering opportunities throughout the event so you can keep making an impact between workshops. 

9. Start each morning with wellness

Leading with purpose requires taking care of yourself too. Each morning at Benevity Live! begins with intention. On day one, awaken your body with a gentle-to-moderate yoga session that meets you exactly where you are. Begin day two in stillness with a deeply restorative sound bath — melting away tension and setting the perfect foundation for a full day of connection and inspiration.

10. Celebrate excellence at the Goodie Awards

Dress up, celebrate impact and enjoy the night at the after-party — the Goodie Awards ceremony is the glitziest part of Benevity Live!. Meet the winners and finalists, and draw inspiration from the organizations setting the new standard for what corporate purpose actually looks like in practice.
