About the International Corporate Citizenship Conference
For nearly 40 years, the International Corporate Citizenship Conference (#BCConf), hosted by the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship (BCCCC), has brought together hundreds of global CSR professionals looking to learn, share, and network among peers. Unlike other CSR events, the Conference does not admit vendors or nonprofits, as our goal is to focus solely on corporate social responsibility—with all its unique challenges, emerging best practices, and opportunities. You won't find more relevant, topical, actionable insights anywhere else.
Below, you can watch videos from the main stage of #BCConf24, one of our best conferences ever, hosted in Memphis thanks to convening sponsor FedEx.

Never Been to the International Corporate Citizenship Conference?
Watch some sessions from last year's event, #BCConf24, to see what you've been missing.
When and where is #BCConf25 happening?
The 2025 International Corporate Citizenship Conference will take place in National Harbor, MD, at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, from April 6-8, 2025.
Who typically attends the International Corporate Citizenship Conference?
All attendees work in some facet of corporate social responsibility, whether it's community relations, corporate giving, DE&I, sustainability, health equity, corporate communications, employee volunteering/engagement, etc. Many attendees bring multiple team members from the same firm, as the Conference provides ample opportunity to network and learn; also different topics are available during the Breakout Session intervals.
I am not an employee of a for-profit company. Can I register for #BCConf25?
It depends. The Conference is designed as a safe space for corporate CSR/ESG practitioners, which means we do not allow for vendors, consultants, news media, or nonprofits. We will, however, make some exceptions for employees of nonprofit healthcare organizations, credit unions, and consulting firms that have a dedicated corporate citizenship/sustainability department within their organizations.
Who is sponsoring the event?
USAA is the convening sponsor of this year's event, and we are thrilled to meet them in our nation's capital. The Conference is made possible thanks to the generous contributions of many additional sponsors. This year's sponsor list is still growing. You can see the companies that have lent their support so far by visiting the 2025 Sponsors page. If your company is interested in Conference sponsorship opportunities, please contact us here.
