About

Please join us for a conversation with Ryan Gellert, CEO of Patagonia, on the power of business as a force for social and environmental progress. Recently named one of Time100’s Most Influential Companies, and topping the Axios/Harris poll as the most loved company in the United States, Patagonia is internationally recognized for its product quality and environmental activism.
 
In this fireside chat, we will touch on Patagonia’s philosophy on the purpose of business and how they work to be a responsible company, including their novel ownership model — and what’s next for this standard setting, purpose-driven company.
 
Light bites and refreshments will be provided.
Location information will be distributed once your registration is confirmed.
