Changemakers for Impact: Transforming Cities

February 19 | 14:30 - February 20th | 15:00

Welcome to a meeting place where ideas are born, barriers are broken and the future is shaped - together. On February 19-20, change makers who are passionate about creating beautiful, inclusive and sustainable cities will gather. Here, innovative leaders and inspiring enthusiasts from public organisations, business, the non-profit sector and academia will meet.

This is more than a conference - it's a launch pad for stronger collaboration, new perspectives and concrete solutions. For two days, we create a powerful arena where open conversations and practical workshops give you the tools to continue driving change, no matter what barriers stand in your way.

Target group: Change drivers from public organisations, business, the non-profit sector and academia. For example, you who lead and drive sustainability issues.

 What can you expect?

  • Workshops and talks: Share your experiences, meet new perspectives and explore solutions together.
  • Powerful dialog: Here we don't just build networks - we build community.
  • Reflection and insight: What's stopping us? What can we do differently? How do we find the strength to drive change?
