The Conscious Capitalism Boston chapter will bring together a diverse group of leaders to explore how their technology impacts doing conscious businesses.
In this interactive conversation, groups of tech leaders will talk about how their technology comes into being, as it influences, higher purpose, stakeholders, conscious cultures and conscious leadership which all guides decision-making and behavior change.
