VCA, a global cultural projects agency, is launching a two-day Changemakers Hub at ICD Brookfield Place during COP28 UAE, in partnership with The Conduit. Running from 5th to the 6th December 2023 at ICD Brookfield Place in Dubai, the exclusive programme of interactive workshops and thought-provoking discussions is tailored for business leaders and senior executives. The programming delves into actionable insights and solutions spanning impact finance, sustainable fashion and more.
 
Changemakers Hub stands out by offering a distinctive experience, aiming to break through the format of large expo events, with its personal, practical approach. Participants can acquire valuable tools, explore innovative processes, and network with fellow changemakers to implement effective solutions for ground-breaking societal change.
 
The programme features expert panel discussions with thought leaders across sustainable fashion, materials science, sustainable hospitality, culture, tech and innovation, and impact investment. Representatives from global companies, such as Virgin United, Pangaia, Water.org, Unilever and Pernod Ricard will share their valuable insights. These discussions will be complemented by high-level roundtables, exclusive dinners and networking events designed to foster connection and collaboration.
