Our core values at Business 4 Good anchor our events based on inclusive practices that grow beyond equity. These are our house rules on all our channels, virtual and in person events and all business we build, 4 good!
Everyone IS welcome — but good vibes and respect are 100% the vibe. Let’s keep it cute and professional:

✨ Flirt with ideas, not people.

This is a space for networking, not pick-up lines. Keep it respectful.

✨ Hype her up!

If someone inspires you, say so! We love compliments rooted in admiration and connection. (Yes, there is a difference – you know the one.)

✨ Share the tech tea.

Got insights on the latest in AI, tools, or tech trends?

Spill! We’re here to learn from each other.

✨ No mansplaining, no mic-hogging.

Listen as much as you speak.

We’re building an inclusive circle, not a one-human show.

✨ Connect with intention.

Bring your biz cards or QR codes — we love a well-placed follow-up.

✨ Read the room.

If someone’s not vibing or engaging, respect their space. We’re here to support, not pressure.
