Bob Dalton

Founder of Sackcloth & Ashes and Locl

Bob Dalton is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and social designer working to reclaim human connection in the digital age. As the founder of Sackcloth & Ashes, he’s donated hundreds of thousands of blankets to homeless shelters through a one-for-one model. Named a Forbes Changemaker and CNN Champion of Change, Bob has traveled to 50+ cities, uncovering a core issue: local communities lack a digital space to connect and be seen. His latest venture, LOCL, solves that by using technology to help people discover and engage with local communities and events.
