Or maybe I shall call it by its formal name, the ECG International Conference, is taking place on 3-5 June 2024 in Leeuwarden, Fryslân, The Netherlands. The theme of the conference is Converging Future-Fit Economic Models: Advancing Just and Sustainable Regions. It is the third conference for the Economy for Common Good. Previous events happened in 2019 and 2022. This time businesses, academia, civil society and the public sector will meet to discuss topics ranging from the need for a GDP successor, new sustainable economics models, water and energy, circular and biobased economy, regenerative models, leadership and spirituality, among other things.
Some of the key speakers and roundtable plenary participants are Kate Raworth (founder of Doughnut Economics), Ebhang Liepollo Pheko, Katy Wiese, Jason Nardi (Solidarity Economy), Bas Van Bavel, Paul Schenderling and the founder himself of Economy for Common Good; Christian Felber.
I will personally attend the event and I’m very much looking forward to listening to some of the top experts in the field of how we can transform and improve our economic system to meet socio-ecological goals. What I like about the Economy for Common Good is the applicability and the business-friendly approach. It is a framework that allows all stakeholders to act and participate. It enhances a free market based on solidarity, equality and social improvements.
I hope you will join as well and if you are a student, there’s a generous discount available.
I will travel from Stockholm to the Netherlands by train and highly recommend you check out DK to find your train ticket to the conference.
I hope to see you there.
