DO GOOD WEEK, now in its third year and hosted by Think Local First DC (TLF), is a series of events designed around community building and collaboration of entrepreneurs creating conversation about smart growth for our city. Signature events include the DO GOOD SUMMIT, GOODGrowth, GOOD Production, and the DO GOOD Salon: Passion, Purpose and Production.  

“Over the years we have found that the best way to create change is to find space, connect people, and begin a conversation. DO GOOD WEEK kicks off with a conversation about growing our city and ends with more than 30 entrepreneurs sharing candid conversations and leading discussions on how to create more sustainable business in DC,” explains Stacey Price Executive Director of TLF.  

The final event, the DO GOOD SUMMIT, is a day-long interactive conference with a mix of traditional and innovative conference platforms, hands-on breakout sessions, inspiring local, regional and national speakers, and a wide array of networking opportunities designed to grow their business.
Keynote speakers include:
·        Gina Schaefer, Founder, A Few Cool Hardware Stores
·        Mark Brand, Founder, Sav-On Meats
·        Mary Walder, Founder, Mary’s Gone Crackers
·        Cheryl Lofton, Owner, Lofton Customer Tailoring
·        Cheryl Cambell, Managing Director, GreenEileen, Eileen Fisher
·        Jon Wye, Founder, Jon Wye.com

DO GOOD SUMMIT participants will:
Hear true confessions from national producers and entrepreneurs, regional changemakers, and local indie rockstars.
Develop skills relevant to starting, owning, and growing a small business.
Learn about trends, share best practices in DC and more broadly, and find out how you can benefit from the localist movement.

Breakout sessions range from low-risk, creative ways to launch a business to how millennials are changing the city.

This year’s Summit will be held at the Wonderbread Building (641 S Street) and at surrounding small businesses including Right Proper Brewery, Eat the Rich, Mockingbird Hill, and Southern Efficiency. With the addition of smaller, more intimate venues, attendees will be able to learn, share, and network with other DO GOOD SUMMIT attendees prior to the main event.
