Bold ideas
At Meaning we bring you bold ideas from unexpected places. We bring you thinkers and do-ers from business, activism, academia and the arts. We bring you the pioneering purpose-driven businesses innovating to disrupt not only their sectors but whole systems.
Watch the talks from 2012 - 2018
Beyond the auditorium
At Meaning smaller groups gather beyond the auditorium to go deeper into the themes that move them most in workshops and breakout discussions. We engineer serendipity to help you connect with and learn from your fellow travellers on the road to better business.
More than a conference
Meaning is a community. In addition to the conference, an array of Meaning Fringe events provide opportunities to really get to know the ideas and the people who gather in Brighton each November. With talks, bike rides, walks and pub meet-ups, Meaning Fringe adds to the unique Meaning experience.

This event not only changed how I see our business. But also how I see myself in our business. Transformative stuff.

#MeaningConf I had such a great time and as I walked out of lunch all I could think was ‘wish I could talk to everyone’

#MeaningConf thanks for another refreshing dip in #Hope #sustainability #change and the only business conference that doesn’t make me want to jam spoons in my eyes. Cheers!
