Join us for a day of creative collaboration that inspires sustainable change in global business. Local Leaders. Global Impact. Shared Future.
A one-day, high-energy forum hosted by the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit at Case Western Reserve University, Good Business brings together small and mid-sized enterprises, social entrepreneurs, and changemakers to explore how local leadership drives global impact.

Rooted in Appreciative Inquiry, the event moves beyond traditional conferences to feature real-world SME success stories, collaborative design sessions, and tangible outcomes. Participants leave with practical tools, meaningful partnerships, and renewed commitment to shaping a shared future through good business.
