About forum
2020 will certainly be a year to remember. It put our long-term promises and strategies, including sustainability, to the test. 2020 uncovered bottlenecks in the global economy and social order, but it also highlighted great examples of active care for people and genuine solidarity between vastly different sectors — things we've sought for a long time in terms of many social and environmental challenges. This year marks the start of 'The Decade of Delivery' — humanity's last chance to prevent worst-case climate change scenarios. 2020 has forced half the world to stay at home, showing us just how strongly we're all connected and influenced by each other and how painful separation can be.

This year, we are once again bringing together active and powerful leaders of brands, agencies, non-commercial organisations, and social media to discuss the outcomes of this crisis, orient ourselves within major social and environmental trends, and learn how to consciously motivate companies, the market, and society towards greater honesty, sustainability, and endurance.

This year's programme consists of three blocks:

1) Pre-forum — an online event devoted to the topic of climate change (held on the evening before the main programme)

2) Zoom Out (morning) — plenary and strategic sessions held offline and online, a live and digital space for networking

3) Zoom In (afternoon) — online sessions on specific topics, with discussions, case studies, and workshops
