6th Annual Canopy Good Business Summit

Common Ground. Common Good. Commonwealth. The Good Business Summit is Kentucky’s premier gathering of business, nonprofit, education, and civic leaders who believe strong communities build stronger businesses. Hosted by Canopy, the Summit brings together approximately 500 leaders from across the Commonwealth for a day of practical learning, meaningful conversation, and inspiring stories that challenge us to think differently about leadership, business, and community. This year’s theme, Common Ground. Common Good. Commonwealth., explores how Kentucky leaders can work across differences, build trust, and use business as a force for good. At a time when division can feel easier than connection, the Summit will create space for honest conversations, new relationships, and practical ideas that move our workplaces and communities forward.
