The World Forum for a Responsible Economy, organized by Réseau Alliances, is back for its 18th edition on November 26 and 27 at the Cité des Échanges in Marcq-en-Barœul, France.

This year, the theme is offbeat, as we explore ways to regain control over time—whether short, medium, or long-term.

Réseau Alliances is excited to welcome distinguished international speakers, including:

• Leor Rotchild, author and sustainability consultant (Canada)

• Kate McKenzie, founder of Ayla Consulting Company (Canada)

• Pedro Tarak, co-founder of SISTEMA B, RITA (Regional Impact Trade Alliance), and IMPACT TRADE (Argentina)

• Leonardo Maldonado, co-founder and President of Gulliver and Cities Can B (Chile)

On the agenda :

• Conversations with international speakers, focusing on territorial cooperation, collaborative innovations, and the impact of public-private partnerships. These sessions will be recorded and streamed live.

• Two masterclasses:

• The first, led by Leor Rotchild, will explore how events and gatherings can serve as catalysts for long-term impact.

• The second will focus on aligning personal convictions with professional ambitions, featuring insights from Pedro Tarak.

• A screening of The Secret Marathon: A Story of Courage, for Equality and Freedom, following Zainab Hussaini’s journey as she fights for women's freedom and gender equality through running a marathon. This will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker, Kate McKenzie.

The closing session will highlight territorial cooperation, presenting inspiring examples of collaboration between businesses, local institutions, and social actors. These initiatives will demonstrate how regions are becoming key drivers in the transition to a sustainable and responsible economy.

All these sessions and events will be conducted in English. Over the course of the two days, participants will have numerous opportunities to discuss with speakers, who will be present throughout the forum.

The event is expected to attract 2,500 attendees and is open to all—welcoming professionals from both the private and public sectors, as well as students.
