Purposed Conference: Turn Purpose into Action

Purposed

Turn Purpose into Action, October 5th 2017, Amsterdam

Turning Purpose into Action

UPDATE: Due to limited seats, we currently only accept registrations of corporate professionals that we have personally invited.

It’s 2017 and the future belongs to organisations that have a clear purpose and act on it.
Purposed is the coming together of professionals who believe that their organisations can and should act on their purpose. To have a great impact on the world and move beyond reducing your footprint. Tap into the bottom-up potential of your crowd. But where to start? And how to do it?

We’re inviting the most influential CSR, HR, Innovation and Sustainability professionals from organisations in the Netherlands. Learn from the people who are doing good and doing it incredibly well. Get and give practical advice in breakout sessions. And do some valuable networking by allowing us to arrange the speed date you always wanted to have.
