Participating in Impact Day was definitely one of the highlights of the year for our company. Top class organisation, a very special venue, lots of exciting contacts, inspiring speakers and a much needed selection of topics. Absolutely everything about this event was thought out down to the last detail!

My experience was nothing short of transformative. Impact Day exceeded expectations, offering a vibrant and seamless blend of education, entertainment, and inspiration. The diverse array of speakers, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities provided valuable insights and connections.
Evelin Allas SEB, Baltic sustainability communication manager
Impact Day is a festival showcasing the power of impact and change. The expectation and need for such an event existed, which was also proven by the large number of participants. The content was rich and meaningful, featuring many speakers who offered diverse perspectives.
Madis Tilga Nordic Council of Ministers' Office in Estonia, Adviser
What I realised at some point during the festival was that … I do not know all the people here. And that felt really great! I have been around for some time pushing sustainability agenda and then one naturally becomes stuck in certain professional circles. You know, tend to meet same people at conferences and engage in activities with the same people…. And now, wow, yes fresh wave of change makers appear and luckily they are many.
Juta Petersoo Estonian Football Association, Football and social responsibility manager
Very interesting and relevant topics. The speakers on the main stage were all top of their field. It is important that everything was on schedule!
Anett Kislov ResQ Club, Marketplace manager

Visionest Institute, CEO

I’ve always been focused on the impact of what we do. As a corporate marketing director, it was crucial to see how our actions influenced the bottom line. When I founded Visionest Institute, impact quickly became our core mantra. We are passionate about measuring the impact of our management training programs and adapting based on what we learn. We’re constantly seeking ways to maximize that impact. A great example is the Ukraine Rebuilding Task Force project, where our participants developed meaningful projects to help rebuild different regions. By working in teams, they were able to dream bigger and bolder about the changes and impact they wanted to create. They formed strong connections and are excited to put their ideas into action now that the program has ended. My presentation today marks a year since the program began. Let’s dive in and explore how that impact has come to life!
