Workshops
Nexio Projects - The step-by-step journey towards becoming net-zero
We all know business as usual is not an option anymore. But what does that look like in practice? How can my organisation contribute? Do I need to change my entire business? During this session we will take you through the different levels of taking climate action. We’re often exposed to best practice and high level of ambition, but let’s break it down step-by-step. After this session you will have the practical tools you need to work with starting today.
Doing Good Model - Walking the Talk- Creating Impact by Implementing Values
Join DGM to learn why companies are shifting perceptions regarding doing good and why doing good is good business. We will get familiar with the Doing Good Model: a moral compass for organizations that includes doing good as an integral part of what they do and how they do it. We will also focus on how to implement personal values in our day-to-day work. This inspirational and practical workshop is an excellent opportunity to expand our views on what doing good means in today’s rapidly changing world.
3 Sided Cube - Success centred design to scale impact (technology track)
3 Sided Cube is an app development and digital product company that specialises in tech for good, with a mission of changing millions of lives for the better. Within this talk, Richard Strachan, CEO and Gabby Crouch, Head of Commercial, will be delving into how users should sit at the heart of all digital products to create maximum impact, measure success and achieve your mission. As part of this talk, they will also be running through a few examples of the power technology can have and why having impact is so important, now more than ever.
Action Funder - Unlocking impact with non-profit partnerships
ActionFunder, the new “speed dating” funding platform uses the power of tech to connect businesses that want to do good with relevant non-profits driving action in local communities. What’s in it for the businesses? Brand uplift. What’s in it for non-profits? Funding for grassroots action. Hear from both sides in this conversation between business leader x and non-profit leaders y and z. Get ready to hear how all businesses can make a real, measurable impact - fast.
The Joyful - Turning Purpose into Net Positive Impact
So, how can we turn our purpose into action and our actions into net positive impact?
It’s time to walk the walk, not just talk the talk...
In this dynamic 90 minute workshop hosted by award-winning brand impact consultants The Joyful, you’ll look holistically at your business and identify areas where you aren’t making the impact you want to. You will leave this workshop energised and motivated with actionable insights, supporting you to build a profitable business with a lasting legacy.MAD Courses - Investigating the SDGs; Tools and engaging experiences to achieve a deeper understanding
After visiting an indigenous community in the Philippines via MAD Courses’ flagship interactive video adventure, you’ll learn how to apply two tools for deeper understanding and exploration of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Keynote Masterclass: Story as Strategy: How Responsible Narratives Shape Responsible Innovation
While many people may believe storytelling is best deployed after a project or product is finished to document innovation after it has been achieved, narratives can serve as a compelling way to develop AI responsibly by considering downstream outcomes for users early in the product life cycle. In this session, learn how Google's Responsible Innovation team works early and often with teams developing AI systems that prioritize social benefit and engage in interactive exercises to build or test your responsible AI narrative.
