Why CEOs Attend
The Institute’s semi-annual CEO Conference attracts top corporate and foundation leaders for insights and dialogue around CSR. Attendees have the opportunity to make connections, collaborate, and network with likeminded leaders. Satell Institute events are extremely valuable for both experienced CEOs and those who are newer to CSR.

Peer-to-Peer Roundtables – A SI Hallmark
The much-anticipated hallmark of each Satell Institute conference is the private CEO peer-to-peer discussion groups that follow the presentation. These exclusive CEO roundtables provide candid and unique idea exchange on CSR best practices, benefits, and challenges. CEO participants continuously rank these discussions highly, citing the invaluable practical and timely takeaways which inspire effective and efficient real-world strategies for positive growth and community impact.

As always, there is no charge to attend, but attendees must be a CEO or equivalent and invited by an existing Satell Institute Member.

Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia


The Satell Institute is proud to partner with the Philadelphia Foundation and local chambers of commerce to bring the Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia – a regional adaptation of the national program created by the Points of Light that recognizes civic-minded companies that are using their time, talent, and resources to drive social impact in their communities – to our Corporate Members.

The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia is a no-cost, self-assessment survey, powered by True Impact’s secure, confidential web-based measurement tool.

Survey results will provide participants with a deeper understanding of how their current CSR efforts align with best practices and organizations of similar size and capacity in the region. All data shared during the assessment will remain private. Once the data is compiled, participants will be ranked among the top 50 civic-oriented businesses in the region.

The honorees will be publicly announced in June 2021.

Why Participate?
The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia allows SI Members to:

  • Measure and benchmark their efforts,
  • Hear about additional practices in CSR and corporate citizenship,
