The world around us is changing rapidly. This causes a lot of unrest and uncertainty, nothing is the same anymore. Companies, social organizations and governments struggle with the tension between legislation, the importance of innovation and the pressure from society. Let alone that they dare to communicate about it.

Society feels the need for optimism and leadership. For people and organisations who dare to take initiative, who want to work together to make and keep the Netherlands and Europe strong economically, politically and socially.

The Issue Congress 2025 is all about Leadership in times of transition and hopefully offers an inspiring, stimulating and sometimes abrasive program to remain agile in a dynamic world.

What can you expect?

During the Issue Congress, leading speakers from the business community, government and society share their experiences and best practices. How do you make strategic choices in complex and uncertain times? Which organizations emerged stronger from recent transitions, and what can we learn from them? These stories offer inspiration and practical tools for your organization.

Highlights of the program:

• Inspiring performances from leaders who have proven to embrace change.
• The presentation of the Issue Award 2025, where we reward an initiative that has put an issue on the political and social agenda.
• Opportunity to networkn with professionals from different sectors.

We will announce the final line-up of speakers at the beginning of January, but one thing is certain: you will go home with new insights, energy and connections.
