Janúarráðstefna Festu er helsti viðburður Festu og stærsti árlegi sjálfbærniviðburður á Íslandi.

 

Yfirskriftin Við skrifum mannkynssöguna, vísar í þau tímamót sem við stöndum frammi fyrir og þær breytingar sem eru að eiga sér stað í rekstri og nýsköpun þegar kemur að sjálfbærni. 

 

Keynote speakers will be international and domestic sustainability leaders that we couldn't be more proud to have on board. These are leaders who have shown the way, spoken the truth, and inspired others. This year, we will focus on the social aspects of sustainability and highlight the opportunities that lie within those focuses.

 

There will also be plenty of fun, entertainment, and humor.

The program will be announced in more detail in the coming weeks, but two of the conference's keynote speakers have now been introduced below.


The January Conference has sold out in recent years, so we encourage you to secure your tickets as soon as possible. Please note that there are special ticket prices for Festa member association staff and university students.

Sandrine Dixson-Decleve,

forseti The Club of Rome

Halla TómasdóttirCEO B Team

Sandrine Dixson-Declève is a global leader and has been at the forefront of the fight against climate change, sustainable development, sustainable finance, and systemic change for years.


Sandrine has traveled widely and made an impact all over the world. She is the author of numerous publications and recently published the book Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity in collaboration with a group of scientists. World-renowned scientist Johan Rockström, who spoke at the Festa 2022 January Conference, is one of the co-authors of the book, which is now available at the Student Bookstore. The book outlines the key issues that humanity needs to focus on in order to thrive and prosper; energy, food, inequality, poverty and population growth.


Sandrine situr í nokkrum alþjóðlegum ráðum á vettvangi Evrópusambandsins og hefur síðan 2018 setið sem forseti The Club of Rome og er hún ásamt Maphela Ramphela fyrst kvenna til að sinna því embætti. The Club of Rome er samfélag fjölbreyttra hugsunarleiðtoga sem bera kennsl á heildrænar lausnir á flóknum alþjóðlegum málum og stuðla að stefnumótun og aðgerðum til að gera mannkyninu kleift að takast á við sínar stærstu áskoranir.


Sandrine is also a special ambassador for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (weall.org), where Iceland is one of the leading nations.


Sandrine is an influential and inspiring thinker, and it is a true honor to have Sandrine come to Iceland in January to participate in Festa's January Conference.

Höllu Tómasar þarf vart að kynna, en það er óhætt að segja að Halla sé einn áhrifamesti Íslendingurinn á alþjóðavettvangi í dag. Halla er brautryðjandi leiðtogi sem á glæstan feril hér heima og á erlendis; fram­kvæmda­stjóri Viðskiptaráðs, uppbygging Háskólans í Reykjavík, uppbyggingarverkefni eftir hrunið, verkefnin Auður í krafti kvenna og Auður Capital sett á fót, forsetaframboð, stjórnun í alþjóðlegum fyrirtækjum og margt, margt fleira.


Today, Halla is the CEO of B Team, an international group of leaders who drive change and better business practices, with the well-being of people and the planet in mind.


Halla gaf nýverið út bókina Hugrekki til að hafa áhrif. „Það býr leiðtogi innra með okkur öllum og eitt mikilvægasta verkefni lífsins er að gefa þessum leiðtoga rödd og áhrif,“ stendur í upphafi lýsingarinnar um bókina, en í henni deilir Halla reynslu úr lífi og starfi sem og sögum af fyrirtækjum og fólki sem hafa virkjað krafta sína til góðra verka og þannig náð bæði miklum árangri og fundið innri gleði.


On the occasion of the January Conference, Unnsteinn Manuel Stefánsson will have a meaningful and productive conversation with Halla, which will be shown at the conference.
