UPDATE 13 January 2022

Unfortunately, we had to make the difficult decision to postpone our PYM Belgium Impact Investing Day. It looks like the protective measures against the spread of Covid, including the ban on indoor conferences, will be extended and we don’t want to take any chances. 

The new date will be Thursday 17 March 2022. 

Hosted by the Ambassadors of Impact Investing in Belgium, this PYM Impact Day provides a safe space for Belgian wealth owners who wish to make impact, connect with each other, learn more about the spectrum of impact investing, and get inspired by listening to personal stories.

Furthermore, hearing some concrete examples of innovative business solutions helping people and the planet, while making a profit, will leave you curious to discover more.

Welcoming both new and experienced Belgian impact investors. Professionals are also welcome when they bring at least two Belgian wealth owners with them.
We are looking forward to making impact together!

Tickets are € 175,- p.p. For more information, please contact Laura Koenders, PYM's Community Manager, at laura@pym.nu
