Location

Registration
It promises to be an inspiring afternoon with an array of surprising and engaging speakers. Speakers who talk about sustainable business and the importance of social connection.
Part of our mission 'towards a smarter, more sustainable and healthier Limburg'. A central theme during the LIOF Festival. This is reflected in the stories of our speakers. But also in the elaboration of the festival itself we are aware of the many aspects but also opportunities that sustainable thinking offers. We therefore ask you to make certain choices when you register. We do not send paper invitations and upon arrival on the day itself you can download the program on your phone via a special QR code. And we also do our utmost to act consciously and consistently in this regard.
