Impact Week 2022 | Asian Venture Philanthropy Network Limited (AVPN) | 29 November 2022 | Brussels

To accelerate positive change for people and planet, we need to get the right people in the room and weave new webs of change. Impact Week brings changemakers together to mobilise capital for true social transformation.

Join in Brussels for EVPA Impact Week, from 30 November to 2 December 2022, including not-to-be-missed events and learning opportunities for corporate social investors:

The C Summit (30 Nov. – 1 Dec.) is the flagship gathering for corporate social investors (CSIs) in Europe; your perspective can elevate the discussion to a global level. You’ll get to know the latest trends and insights on how corporates create more coherence between impact and business agendas and deploy capital collectively. You’ll meet your peers and corporate impact leaders to explore how to make your impact faster and bolder.

Part of the C Summit, the course Corporate Social Investing: the Next Level (30 Nov.) is the place for CSIs seeking the very latest knowledge from peers and experts. You’ll learn and contribute perspectives in a dynamic setting, fueled by research, practitioner expertise and workshops that address the most crucial questions and challenges CSIs face. You’ll get actionable takeaways to bring back to your organisation and raise your impact to the next level.

During Impact Week, you’ll also get the chance to connect with impact leaders from across Europe and beyond. With 10 programme tracks – including health, youth, food and cities – 2022’s priority is accelerating impact. Share fresh ideas that can enable net-zero economy, ease inequalities and elevate economic and social prospects for all. Draw connections that will accelerate and scale up solutions. And together create those ‘aha!’ moments that can speed up an organisation’s journey from theory to outcomes.

The C Summit and Impact Week are all about bringing together the most innovative and influential minds in impact – take your part!
