Looking for those 'aha!' moments

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!

Members only!

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.

More spots and options

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.

Join the fun

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, join our programme curator Mariken Gaanderse for an info session on:

19 June at 09.00CET

26 June at 16.00CET

Deadline for submission of proposals:

7 July

 The call is now over! 

Check out the selected sessions here.

Selection of proposals:

12 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 12 July we will let you know whether your session has been selected or merged. 

We selected 39 sessions out of 127 proposals! Here they all are.

Refined proposal:

14 September

Over the summer and in the beginning of September you will have time to refine and complete your proposal. By 14 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 moderator(s).

Logistics:

15 October

The deadline for your logistics requests and your interactive format.

Impact Week

Showtime!

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 one of your free member tickets or by using Impact Europe members discount code.

Thursday

On Thursday we will have impact stage conversations all day. There will be three stages that day (Impact Together Stage, Impact Heroes Stage and Accelerate Impact Stage). Most of these conversations are curated by the Impact Europe team and our partners. But we have few slots reserved for your breakthrough ideas and breathtaking speakers!

Impact Stage conversations – 45 mins – max 5 slots

These will be 45 mins each and will allow for only 3 speakers. We have only a few sessions available for these conversations.
