Your Week!​​​​​​

The stage is yours!

Impact Week brings together a committed community whose mission is accelerating positive change for people and planet.  It's THE place for purpose-driven leaders, silo breakers, synergy builders – impact people of Europe and beyond. That's why we are looking for you!

During the Impact Week, we offer Impact Europe members a chance to host an interactive session, possibly (and preferably) together with others. Not an Impact Europe member yet? No worries, you can still join the fun if you apply for membership now.

On this page you will find an overview of our curation process, important info on the formats and the type of rooms we have on offer (with the amounts of spots available). We understand this is quite a lot of information, so please read this carefully and maybe even more than once.

We are super keen to collaborate with you all again and curious to read what matters most to you this year!

If you have any questions of ideas, our programme curator Mariken Gaanderse has all the answers.

The Curation Process

Deadline for submission of proposals: 5 July

Hurry up and submit your proposal now.

Selection of proposals: week of 8 July

We will then internally make a first selection and explore where we can possibly merge sessions to avoid duplication of sessions and to allow for as many members to co-host a session. By 8 July we will let you know whether your session has been selected or merged. 

Refined proposal: 13 September

Over the summer and in the beginning of September you will have time to refine and complete your proposal. By 13 September we would like to receive a further developed proposal. Our communication team will then start drafting a short description for your session. Of course, you can provide us with your feedback and edits. By the end of September, we aim to have the largest part of our programme online. We will then also communicate your room and timeslot allocation and send you a form to indicate your logistical needs and we will ask you to inform us about your interactive format and script.

Speakers list: 15 October

The final deadline for the session descriptions, including the speakers and possible moderators. Speaker and moderator tickets need to be covered by you. This can be done either by using your free member tickets or by using Impact Europe members discount code.

Logistics: 15 October

The deadline for your logistics requests and your interactive format.

Impact Week: showtime!

Important to Know

Make it right

We put the ‘act’ in impact. We therefore encourage you to have an interactive format that stimulates participants to engage in the conversation. Here you can find a number of suggestions for possible formats.

It's personal

We highly value meeting each other in person. As such we don’t allow for hybrid formats.

You're in charge

When you (co-)host a session, you are in charge of the organisation, for the moderation/facilitation and the script of the session. There are no Impact Europe moderators or facilitators.

No free tickets

Speaker and moderator tickets need to be covered by you. This can be done either by using your free member tickets or by using Impact Europe members discount code.

Rooms & Formats

During Impact Week we will have 3 types of rooms and 2 types of sessions: Impact Boldness on Thursday and Impact Brightness on Friday).

The team will share their selection of the sessions on 8 July and inform you about your room and time slot allocation in early September.
