Participants
With our Sustainable Finance Event, we aim to bring together high-level speakers and attendees to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and ideas.
Therefore, this event should be of interest to Sustainable Finance Professionals, but also for leaders who, while not engaged in compliance daily, view it as a crucial element in strategic management.
Based on last year’s edition, we expect to welcome 200+ attendees from 50+ organizations, both public and private. Our event is driven by a clear mission.
First, we want to bring the (financial) professionals in the Sustainable Finance space together and encourage knowledge sharing and exchange of best practices.
Secondly, we hope to add value in the deepening of cooperation between the different stakeholders in the Sustainable Finance sector, among other things, by facilitating the forming of new relationships and to deepen existing relationships.
Finally, above all we want to achieve that all participants will travel home after the conference full of energy and enthusiasm.
How to get there
We’re excited to invite you to a memorable gathering at Antropia, Cultuur- en Congrescentrum te Driebergen-Rijsenburg.
The event will take place in Antropia, located at Hoofdstraat 8, 3972 LA Driebergen-Rijsenburg.
The venue is easily accessible by both car and even better by public transport -> Trainstation is next to Antropia! Parking at P+R Station Driebergen-Zeist.
Uniting the financial sector by discussing pressing topics and enhancing cooperation. That’s what we love to do at Leaders in Finance. By listening, learning, and connecting with others, we accelerate the sharing of ideas, thus powering (upcoming) leaders and organizations to shape the future of financial services.
Each part of the Leaders in Finance Group – Podcasts, Events, Lunches, Academy – has its unique approach. Want to explore how we can benefit your organizational goals? We’re happy to meet and discuss opportunities.
