BEHIND THE SCENES
Acting for Real Changes
The 12th edition of the Luxembourg Sustainability Forum (LSF) is coming up! The LSF is the must-attend event for sustainable development in Luxembourg. Organised by the IMS team, it provides new perspectives as well as concrete and inspiring solutions to environmental and social challenges, thanks to a high-quality programme.
This year, let’s discover what's behind the scenes of our economic lives…
Eating, dressing, travelling, working... These actions all hold tremendous potential for moving us towards a desirable future. Citizens and businesses alike are on the front line of change to address the challenge of "sustainable consumption and production".
Coup de théâtre! Radical and promising changes are underway in various areas of our lives. Discover them in several acts. This new edition will not cease to surprise with its varied settings, speakers and scenes. Silence, curtain up!
When? Thursday 26 October 2023, welcome from 12h45 - from 1.30 pm to 6.40 pm (followed by a networking cocktail)
Where? Luxexpo (sold-out) or livestream on imslux.lu (on registration)
