Live a vibrant, inspiring and life-changing experience !
Step into a sustainable world
More than just an event, ChangeNOW is an experience to be lived, a real dive into a sustainable world.
A vibrant place to learn, be inspired, be moved.
An unforgettable moment, where all those who want to build a better world come together, whatever their origins or life paths: entrepreneurs, investors, employees, managers, politicians, journalists, artists, sportsmen and women, activists, students, job seekers, families…
A moment of action, hope and humanity!
Discover and try hundreds of solutions!
Grouped into 14 thematics zones (agriculture, energy, circular economy, AI for impact, etc.), hundreds of solutions are on displays, ready to be discovered. They have all been selected for their ability to respond to major environmental or social challenges, their strong positive impact and their potential to be deployed on a large scale.
Get inspired by the leaders of change
ChangeNOW is the result of a year of editorial preparation and the mobilization of 400 global leaders of change, allowing you to address the major issues of our century and the concrete actions to be taken to build a sustainable world.
Listen to entrepreneurs pitch in a garden
Throughout the day, listen to the best entrepreneurs present their projects in 3 minutes and try to convince a jury of investors, media and partners.
And on Friday evening, join them on one of the main stages to discover the jury’s “coups de coeur”: an awards ceremony and a great moment of inspiration!
and also...
Let yourself be moved by socially-aware artists
Our goal? To help you meet people who will change your life!
So take part in the many opportunities provided to meet people:
- ice-breaking sessions at the start of the day, where you’ll spend 15 minutes with another attendee
- a program of meet-ups organized by impact players, to meet people interested in the same themes as you
- planned meetings with the participants you want to connect with, thanks to the networking application
- a people-first library, to meet profiles that would probably never have crossed your path before
- meetings at the booths or at the Impact Job Fair
- private lounges (investors, premium passes, or people invited by partners)
and many more serendipitous moments!
Meet people you'd never expect!
ChangeNOW is also an entire artistic program to let yourself feel a large range of emotions all day long.
As soon as you enter, a monumental artwork awaits you, opening the way to a journey of 10 works of art scattered throughout the Expo. You’ll also be able to witness a happening, with dancers, singers, musicians, actors and other artists putting their talents to the service of impactful messages.

Live an eco-responsible experience
ChangeNOW has taken on the challenge of showing that it is possible to produce a major event while being eco-responsible throughout the value chain, with over 80 audited and validated commitments.
Here are just a few of the things you’ll notice
- badge-holders made from plant waste, to combat deforestation
- green scenography and natural lawns in the Grand Palais
- eco-designed booths and uniform signage
In 2024, ChangeNOW won the “Sustainable Event of the Year” award at the Deauville Event Days.
Feedback from our past attendees
"You made us dream, hope, meet incredible people and experience extraordinary moments."
RespectOcean
“The whole event radiated positivity and hope without being fanciful or utopian. It's so easy to feel negativity and anger about climate issues, but what you achieved at ChangeNOW is something very special."
