Our goal? To help you meet people who will change your life!
So take part in the many opportunities provided to meet people:
- ice-breaking sessions at the start of the day, where you’ll spend 15 minutes with another attendee
- a program of meet-ups organized by impact players, to meet people interested in the same themes as you
- planned meetings with the participants you want to connect with, thanks to the networking application
- a people-first library, to meet profiles that would probably never have crossed your path before
- meetings at the booths or at the Impact Job Fair
- private lounges (investors, premium passes, or people invited by partners)
and many more serendipitous moments!
Meet people you'd never expect!
ChangeNOW is also an entire artistic program to let yourself feel a large range of emotions all day long.
As soon as you enter, a monumental artwork awaits you, opening the way to a journey of 10 works of art scattered throughout the Expo. You’ll also be able to witness a happening, with dancers, singers, musicians, actors and other artists putting their talents to the service of impactful messages.
Listen to entrepreneurs pitch in a garden
Throughout the day, listen to the best entrepreneurs present their projects in 3 minutes and try to convince a jury of investors, media and partners.
And on Friday evening, join them on one of the main stages to discover the jury’s “coups de coeur”: an awards ceremony and a great moment of inspiration!
