CHANGE 2026, Basel Edition

Where purpose-driven leaders come together to co-create impact.

CHANGE is Bevel ON’s flagship social sustainability platform — a gathering where people who care about impact, inclusion, and the future of work come together to build what’s next.

This is not another conference. It is a movement, a meeting point, and a space where action begins.

Created for leaders, innovators, community builders, and individuals in mission-driven transitions, CHANGE brings together the private sector, public institutions, and civil society around one shared belief: sustainability must start with people — with dignity, opportunity, and the courage to reinvent.

Several times a year, CHANGE comes to life through high-energy gatherings where:

•  ideas turn into partnerships,

• stories turn into action,

• and people find the community that helps them rise.

Why CHANGE Exists

At Bevel ON, we believe something simple and transformational:
Change begins with opportunity. And opportunity begins with people.

Behind every environmental breakthrough, every social innovation, every governance reform — there are human beings who dared to do things differently.

Social sustainability is therefore not a side topic. It is the engine that empowers lives, strengthens communities, fuels economies, and reshapes the systems we all depend on.

We created CHANGE to bring this truth forward: to put people back at the centre of sustainability and to create a space where humanity, reinvention, collaboration, and courage lead the conversation. It is a space to be inspired, moved, challenged — and activated.
A space where you don’t just hear about impact. You become part of it.
