The story

A global festival series about Stories that Fill the Hope Gap

We started GOODCon Festivals in 2019 at the TOMS HQ in Los Angeles, to bring our community of purpose-driven brand and business leaders, inspiring changemakers, and world-class storytellers together.

Since then we've done them around the world — in NYC, Sydney, Melbourne, London and Sri Lanka.

We bring together leaders from companies like Apple, Nike and SpaceX, changemakers like Malala Yousafzai, and storytellers from Disney, HBO and Imagine Entertainment for an inspiring day of joy and inspiration.
