It is a well worth summit. The topics are of actuality, and the discussions are often times forward-looking. The people attending are for the most part very interested in impact investing so the discussion is very enriching. You will definitely learn new things, meet new interesting people and find new interesting products.

"For me, the Impact Summit is a valuable and inspirational event to get up to speed with the latest developments in impact investing whilst reconnecting with peers and establishing new contacts. Phenix Capital does a great job bringing content and investors together, that’s why I attended this event for the past two editions."
Johan Vanderlugt, Lead Expert Environment, Social and Governance Advisory, Van Lanschot Kempen
"Taking part in the "Private vs Public markets" debate was an interesting challenge as there's a perception that private market allocations are "purist," whereas public market allocations are not! What inspired me at Impact Summit Europe was to convert some of the purists! I enjoyed most seeing familiar faces... but also an increasing number of new faces. I also enjoyed the debate surrounding commercial vs concessionary returns - it's clear there are quality and commercially viable opportunities across the impact space. You simply need to know how and where to look."
Dimple Sahni, Managing Director Multi Asset Impact Investing, Anthos Fund & Asset Management

Christian Kleboth, Head of Loan Syndications, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
"I think the investor connect sessions were very useful, because it was very fast and very easygoing. Good to just have a quick chat and receive other peoples contact details, to be able to contact them in the future. Also funny structure with having multiple investors at the table, where it was also good to speak to other LPs."
