On Monday, May 22, 2023, the day before the start of IMEX 2023, our new German-language format will take place for the first time, tailored to the needs of operational and strategic event planning: The MICE Impact Academy, exclusively for invited hosted buyers. An afternoon full of networking, education and co-creation around the most challenging topics in our industry: People, Planet, Purpose.

We dive deep into all facets of sustainability – from the SDGs to certifications, supply chains, social innovation and the circular economy. At the same time, we shed light on the prerequisites for these changes – on a societal as well as a very personal level. What are the Inner SDGs and why are they a key to success in this transformation process? What drives us? What gives us meaning? We let pioneers, visionaries, experts and destinations have their say, who have already taken the path for our new togetherness, for their very personal mission and for the MICE industry of the future.

In exciting, inspiring and also touching workshops, the planners receive many valuable tips for sustainable event management as well as impulses for personal development – keyword “Purpose”.

It’s more fun together: With a lot of joy and enthusiasm, we look at the possibilities of impact design together from different perspectives and learn with and from each other. Selected destinations, regions and cities present their impact projects and provide a look behind the scenes. The format connects experts with the planners and providers for a dialogue about high-quality content
