Connections @ Conference

Conference offers the opportunity to connect with others in the corporate social impact field through the sharing of stories, ideas, experiences, and a shared desire to amplify voices and unleash impact. We invite you to take advantage of the many opportunities to engage with the ACCP community as we each share a part of our story and glean insights from others’ experiences.
