Coffee & Connection: Swap Thoughts With B Corps

Swap Thoughts with B Corps

Join us for a special Coffee & Connection morning, hosted in partnership with Swapaholic at their beautiful space in Clarke Quay.

Spend the morning connecting with purpose-driven founders and fellow changemakers. Through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and a little swapping, you'll discover how B Corps are proving that profit and purpose can go hand in hand.

Whether you're curious about the B Corp movement, looking to expand your network, or simply keen to meet inspiring people over coffee, we'd love to welcome you.

Our B Corp "Books" for this event include:

Mayur Singh - Co-Founder of The Green Collective

Pedro Aguirre - Co-Founder and Director of Community Development and Impact at Make the Change

Chee Yong Ng - Founder and Creative Director at Somewhere Else

Priyanka Shahra - Founder of Swapaholic

Agenda

☕ Grab a Coffee

Start the morning with a fresh cup of coffee, a breakfast treat, and casual conversations with like-minded people who care about creating positive impact.

📖 Borrow a "Human Book"

Take part in two intimate 15-minute conversations with B Corp founders and leaders. Ask questions, hear authentic stories, and gain insights into their journeys. No presentations, no slides, just real conversations.

🔄 Swap Something (On Swapaholic)

Bring along one item you love but no longer reach for. During the networking session, you'll have the chance to exchange it for something new-to-you, inspired by Swapaholic's mission to give great items a second life.

Come curious, leave inspired—and perhaps with a new connection, a fresh perspective, and a new favourite item.

We look forward to seeing you there! FAQ

What is a Human Library?

A Human Library is a format where real people — the "books" — share their personal experiences in small, intimate groups. You don't attend a talk. You borrow a person for 15 minutes and ask the questions you'd never ask in a conference room. No slides, no pitch, no agenda — just honest conversation.

What is B Corp?

B Corp certification is awarded to businesses that meet rigorous standards across people, planet, community and governance — not just profit. There are over 10,000 B Corps globally. This morning, you'll meet some of Singapore's own.

What's included in the ticket?

This is a free event. Come and enjoy a coffee and morning bites on arrival, a Human Library session, and access to the swap.
