ebbf 2026 impact retreat
Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th, September 2026
Welcome to the ebbf Impact Retreat, a sanctuary for exploration and growth.
We invite you to gather in Acuto, where leaders from all generations converge to forge a path toward a more ethical and sustainable future. This retreat is not an event; it is a commitment to elevating our conversations and actions, ensuring they are rooted in justice, unity, and a shared vision for a better world.
The sessions include:
Future salon: Sessions dedicated to exploring future trends and understanding our role in co-creating these possible futures.
Knowledge café: to share and obtain the knowledge that comes from the experience of this group of international leaders
Meaningful walks: The opportunity to walk down to the medieval village and enjoy deep, fruitful conversations.
What do you want to understand? The opportunity to share your questions and challenges with ambitious experts active in creating futures.
The most useful and meaningful conversations with other committed and active leaders to understand and act in the best way
Session featuring personal stories of leadership in complex times. What we remember most are real stories, challenges, and ideas for navigating the most uncertain times.
And an abundance of resources and ideas! What we're most interested in, is in this room!

Develop your ability to lead in complex times
Times of transition demand our attention, as the challenges we face call us to rise to the occasion.
We find ourselves at a critical juncture, where our actions today will have massive repercussions for future generations. It is at this crucial moment that we can come together, working with like-minded people,
to identify our role in this era,
to help us identify the capabilities we need to develop to be prepared for the future,
to enable us to understand how to build those capabilities to accompany.
Welcome to this ebbf Impact Retreat, an ebbf experience to explore and lead.
TESTIMONIES
For the first time, I found a place with such high principles. It's not easy to do business with true values. And many times, looking at my world, I felt alone. Fortunately, I've never given up on my values. But I've felt out of place, many times. Here at the conference, I met entrepreneurs who don't launch projects just to make money. They launch them because they've already arrived, and now they want to do something useful for humanity.

Naturally.
This is a community of people turning to the light, actively driving the narrative forward by transforming their communities. We didn’t just ask ‘What can we fix?’ but ‘Who must we become?’ and ‘How do be become protagonist for change?’

In this ebbf conference, there was such a singular focus around personal development and contribution. Which perfectly fits my idea of the best kind of business development.
Tobin Smith
This ebbf conference is always a meaningful event. Worth attending!

«To reorient towards hope is to turn consciously toward what builds, integrates, and uplifts even while disintegration is visible around us.»
Letter from the ebbf board. March, 2026
At the end of this experience, you'll leave with a whole new level of energy, understanding, and willingness to take action.
UNDERSTAND
Understand the positive new business trends that are emerging amid the confusion and polarization that surrounds us.
INTERACT AND LEARN
Interact and learn from the people who are making these new business models happen and from others who want to explore how to make them a reality.
DEFINE YOUR ROL
You'll be surrounded by people who share your desire to develop skills and values that enable you to contribute to better economic systems, business models, and workplaces.
Unique interactions that create unparalleled human connections
Inspiring speakers are just one part of the richness of the ebbf experience.
The main element that participants highlight as a key reason to return is the depth of personal interactions.
The combination of the unique diversity that surrounds you with the like-minded guidance of participants is enhanced by the special interactive dynamics we build into ebbf experiences.
"If I could attend only one conference a year, it would be the ebbf conference. A reminder that when a beautifully diverse group of regular folk share clear purpose, pathways and agency, then HOPE is inevitable. People come to ebbf not as consumers but as protagonists.
