During three days in October the immense topics Leadership, Sustainability and Impact will be presented, discussed, taught, debated about, and turned upside down in a never before seen format.

The three day Impact Challenge learning experience and competition for the leaders of the future will be held on 26, 27 and 28 October 2017 in Zeist, the centre of the Netherlands. International world class speakers will share the latest insights in the fields of leadership, sustainability and impact.

During the Challenge the participants will be transformed into a network of future leaders.

After three days 90 friends for life will go back to their countries, sharing the same mindset, knowledge and motivation to make a difference.
