Welcome to SBSI 2026

"Bridging the Gap: Stretching Across Silos, Systems, and Stories”

Today’s critical challenges don’t fit neatly into one discipline or sector. Bridging the Gap invites us to move beyond silos by connecting systems and strategies that drive lasting impact. This year’s SBSI Conference explores how leaders in business, policy, and social innovation can collaborate across boundaries to turn ambition into action. From boardrooms to grassroots initiatives, we’ll highlight the connections that make progress possible and reimagine what’s achievable when purpose meets performance.
