The conference is in the framework of Good Deeds Day (good-deeds-day.org), a global movement spanning more than 108 countries and millions of people. Good Deeds Day was initiated in 2007 by businesswoman and philanthropist Shari Arison, head of the Arison Group, a global business and philanthropic group that invests in ventures providing added value to people, society, the economy, and the environment.
“The idea behind Good Deeds Day is to shine a spotlight on doing good deeds that grow the circles of good in the world. This year, it was important for us to also hold a virtual global conference with thousands of participants, sharing their good deeds and expanding the circles of good together, strengthening the idea that it is always possible to do good and be good. Participants from more than 100 countries will take part in our Goodstock gathering, and it is heartwarming to see the outpour of goodness and the connection everyone feels towards one idea that unites us all – being good,” says Shari Arison, initiator of Good Deeds Day.
This year’s virtual conference will focus on key topics, case studies, and stories surrounding the performance of good deeds in all aspects of life and will open with a special interview featuring Shari Arison.
