Host a side event
The Side Events are an ideal opportunity to introduce your brand to the IMPACT FESTIVAL attendees and connect with the sustainability community.
Please note: As the host of a side event, you are responsible for managing the registrations, organisation, application and the costs associated with the event. You will benefit from our network and we will support you in making the event visible to our participants.
How to host a side event
- You are responsible for the side event’s organisation, venue, invitation, costs, etc..
- Our dedicated communications team is here to support you by promoting your side event on our side event website and in our newsletter. We strongly recommend relying on something other than the Impact Festival as the only source of guests. Visitors can attend events, advertise in your local ecosystem, and invite your network.
- Participation in an application for a side event is 100% free of charge for Impact Festival guests.
- As a host, you manage the registration/registration page, advertising, operations, insurance, costs, etc.
- Most side events are generally open to all participants but may also be by invitation only.
- Only events in Frankfurt am Main will be considered – no virtual events.
You should schedule your side event at a time when most participants are available. Here is an overview of the best time slots for your event:
- 29 October: Many guests will arrive the day before the IMPACT FESTIVAL.This is your chance to organise an event that does not compete with the festival programme.
- 30 October: The official after party at IMPACT BY NIGHT in the Oaks Bar is already soled our, but demand is high. This is your chance to rent one of the many bars and restaurants and start your own evening event.
- 31 October: There will be no official programme on the final evening of the IMPACT FESTIVAL – the perfect opportunity to host your own after-show party!
Take advantage of the relaxed atmosphere and invite partners, colleagues and new contacts to an unforgettable evening.
We strongly advise against holding your side event during the main IMPACT FESTIVAL hours. These are the times when the festival stages are active:
- 30 October 09.00 – 19.00
