2026 Annual Community Transformation Luncheon:

A Network of Hope, Connection & Possibility

Tuesday, February 24, 2026

Since 2020, Love Out Loud’s Transformation Luncheon has brought together business, civic, and community leaders- people like you who care about building a stronger, more connected community. Each year, around 300 leaders from across various sectors come together to build trust, form meaningful connections, and mobilize people to drive meaningful change.

This year's theme- building a network of hope, connection, and possibility- reflects how Love Out Loud multiplies your impact. We connect you to deep community intelligence, trusted collaborators, and the resources that turn good intentions into lasting transformation. 

This year's panel brings together three leaders from across sectors and diverse backgrounds who will share how collaborative action is creating visible change in Winston-Salem. You'll leave with new relationships, sharper community insight, and concrete pathways to expand your impact.
