Grounded In
Hope
The Agilists4Sustainability community is holding their third Virtual Conference with the theme “Grounded in Hope”. The planet is calling for our help and now more than ever we need a human centric approach, a “we” approach to these complex challenges, such as social, environmental, economic and so much more.
About the Event
Are you curious about how you could contribute to a brighter future for humanity? Or are you already working on it and want to share your experience? Come join us on September 17 and 18 to get inspired by real-world stories, learn about impactful ways to use your skills, and solve problems together. We'll offer a refreshing mix of lightening talks, in-depth talks, and workshops. Due to so many excellent proposals, we decided to hold the open space event at a later date, on September 30th, during our regular meetup time, though we will offer an short Open space session at the conference if participants desire it.

Our Speakers 2025
Our speakers are diverse, both in areas of expertise and in where they live. Their stories, methods and ideas are all having a positive impact on planetary challenges, and we offer them a warm welcome, and a thank you for coming to share their insights with us. Thank you, for doing what you do, even in the face of adversity! Our theme this year brought even more diversity than before, and we have split the days into sessions about ‘Doing’ - techniques to bring agility and sustainability together - and ‘Being - techniques and stories around mindset and presence.
