We are deeply grateful that you are coming to speak at Impact Day festival.
From this page you will find all the information about the festival: how to prepare, what should you wear, how to get to the venue, etc. Let’s dig into the details & act for impact!
As the largest event of its kind in Northern Europe, Impact Day focuses on advocating responsible business practices that promote prosperity. With the world navigating the instability of change, we recognise the need for a more self-sufficient and sustainable continent. Here, you have the chance to engage with – and learn first-hand from – leaders, innovators, policymakers, and societal influencers, all striving for positive and lasting action.
Impact Day will take place 9-10 October 2025 in Tallinn. The main topic of this year’s event is “Aiming higher”.
Besides reading our webpage overview about the festival, an overview for you is available here: Performer summary. In addition, you can find the 2023 speakers’ briefing slides and recordings for more detailed information about the festival & other sessions.
You can only use PowerPoint slides and they must be in the 16:9 format.
If any other materials are required, they all must be in digital format.
Any content you need to display, including pictures or videos, must be included in the slides. This can be easily achieved using PowerPoint. If you are unsure how to do this, we will gladly assist you.
If you’re using slides for your presentation, ensure they’re uploaded by September 24th: upload here.
Seminar organizers need to bring their slides on a memory stick.
Speaking at a stage? You will have a head microphone, so be sure there is a place where to put the modem (for example a belt, pants’ pocket or brim will do). In addition, keep in mind that big earrings might make an uncomfortable sound whilst using the head microphone.
Doing a seminar? You will not have a microphone. Be sure to have your voice warm in order not to lose it afterwards.
Your session/performance should last for the agreed-upon time. Details of each session’s length can be found on the Impact Day website under ‘Program’.
The agreed-upon time is considered ‘gross’ time, meaning that, for instance, if your fireside is scheduled for 20 minutes, the introduction and conclusion will also be deducted from this. Thus, your ‘net’ time available for speaking will be 18 minutes – one minute for the introduction and one for the conclusion. (For keynotes, we will deduct from the end three minutes for Q&A, so in this example final ‘net’ time for the keynote would be 15 minutes.)
For panel discussions, you can calculate ‘net’ time in the following way. The introduction and conclusion will still take the same time.
Each additional panelist (beyond the first one) will add an extra 30 seconds to the introduction. Therefore, if there are three panelists in total, the introduction will take (60 seconds + 30 seconds + 30 seconds = 120 seconds) and the conclusion 60 seconds.
So, your ‘net’ time will be ‘gross’ time – introduction (120 seconds) – conclusion (60 seconds).
No, last year, approximately one-sixth of the attendees participated virtually. When preparing for your performance, please take this into consideration. Design your presentation in a way that engages both the physical and virtual audiences.
For seminars, only physical participants can take part.

You have to enter Brella and choose “Stream” from the leftside menu.
It will be possible to watch the recordings of the event in the week immediately afterwards and all materials will be available 60 days after the event.
As a first step, you can obtain a badge and lanyard at the VIP registration desk using your ticket. To do this, you need to locate the email sent by Fienta containing the QR code.
With your badge, you will have easy access to move between the Impact Day halls and the outdoor area. It’s important to carry your badge and lanyard with you at all times – without it, re-entry to the festival won’t be possible.
In collaboration with Ecodisain, we will be collecting the lanyards at the conclusion of the festival for reuse at future events. Therefore, before leaving the Creative Hub (Kultuurikatel), kindly return your lanyard – together, we can contribute to environmental conservation!
You can leave your outerwear in an unguarded wardrobe. There are numbers above the hooks in the wardrobe, you cannot take a number with you. In the wardrobe, we ask you to take a picture of your number so that you don’t forget where you put your clothes.
You can see the programme on the Impact Day website. In addition, there are screens in the cloakroom area where you can also check the schedule. We also recommend logging in early to the Brella environment – there you can see the schedule as well as ask questions, network, etc.
There is no password! Just join the “Impact Day Public” network.
Alcohol consumption and e-cigarette use are prohibited indoors on Impact Day. You can only smoke in the designated area. In the Smoking Corner there are Filaret smoke boxes for guests to drop their containers in. These will be used to collect smoke cones, and Filaret will recycle toxic smoke cones into eco-friendly compostable 3D printing material, reducing waste in an innovative way.
For our part, we’ve done everything we can to ensure that you generate as little waste as possible during the festival. But if you do, please sort it accordingly – you have the option to separate biowaste, packages, paper & cardboard, deposit bottles & cans, mixed waste.
Grab the arm of a volunteer wearing an Impact Day shirt. Chances are they’ll know the answer to your question! Plus, you can always turn up at the registration desk, where, among other things, all the lost items will end up.
Before you leave the Creative Hub (Kultuurikatel), take the lanyard to the registration desk and if you still have a Ringo’s dish in your hand, put those in the designated bins.
Yes, you can use photos taken by photographers at the festival, as long as you mention the photographer and the name of the event (Impact Day). You can use the photos for media, publications, personal use, etc. Whenever possible, use our festival’s #impactday and #actforimpact tags – that way, other festival visitors can find you!
You can watch the recordings up to 60 days after the festival on Brella. Recording will be uploaded there 3-5 days after the festival has ended.
We’ll send you an email after the festival where you can leave your compliments, suggestions and ideas!
