PROGRAM
Shaping the future together.
Discover who’s leading the change.
Program 2025
Get ready for inspiring speakers, bold perspectives, and topics that drive real change. Whether it's the IMPACT or TRANSFORMATION Stage, masterclasses or campsite chats – this is where you'll meet visionaries, forward-thinkers, and solution-makers from across the world of sustainable transformation.
WHERE EXPERTISE SHAPES THE PROGRAM.
To ensure the IMPACT FESTIVAL 2025 addresses the topics that truly matter, we’ve established the IMPACT BOARD – a high-level panel of experts that supports the development of the program through strategic sparring. Together, we identify relevant content, curate powerful speakers, and shape a program with substance, impact, and foresight. Because: sustainability is not a trend. It’s a complex challenge – and that requires depth, credibility, and direction.
