Inspired Conversation
Two days. Thirty storytellers. Over 400 innovators, troublemakers, entrepreneurs, inventors, and transformation artists.
BIF-8 is a national gathering of amazing people who are driven by their passion, creativity, and smarts to create value in entirely new ways. Believing in the power of stories to change the world, the BIF Summit is a storytelling jam, peppered with tales of personal discovery, innovation, and transformation.
Now in its eighth year, the BIF Summit has earned it reputation as "one of the top 7 places to watch great minds in action" (according to Mashable). The summit provides participants with the space to be curious and crazy, get inspired, and collide with unusual collaborators.
