CHANGE: Gathering of impact-makers

Registration required.

On August 26th, Bevel ON invites you to CHANGE — a unique offline experience that brings together leaders driving impact, our community and growing ecosystem of partners, professionals, and changemakers around one powerful mission — to build meaningful connections and change in action across cultures, sectors, and experience of rebuilding.
In a time of uncertainty, CHANGE offers something rare — a space where impact isn’t just discussed, it’s made. Because change begins with opportunity - as we always say in Bevel ON.

Bevel ON is a Swiss-based social impact association creating capacity building programmes for expatriated, displaced and underrepresented talent. We bring together communities, businesses, and change-makers to drive integration through economic empowerment — because we believe integration is not charity, it’s collaboration.

### Our flagship events, like CHANGE, are where it all comes together, where ideas become action.

Where the right people meet at the right moment — to collaborate, to rebuild, to lead. You’ll be surrounded by those already driving change — and those ready to begin. It’s not just about being inspired. It’s about being involved.

### You will:

✔ Hear real stories of reinvention — from people who turned uncertainty into impact
✔ Discover powerful tools for integration, inclusion, and rebuilding careers with purpose
✔ Connect with changemakers driving social impact and economic empowerment in Switzerland and beyond
✔ Step into a room where futures are being shaped — and where your voice, skills, and presence truly matter
Don’t just watch change happen. Be in the room where it begins.

> Expect impact. Expect emotion. Expect to leave empowered— and activated.
