Het VeranderFestival 2026

This time, the Change Festival is entirely dedicated to courage. For all change-makers in the Netherlands. ‘The sooner you think you see through everything, the greater the chance you will miss the mark.’

Change coach and author Steven van den Heuvel opens The Change Festival with an introduction to the courage to fail – about daring to fall, learning, and moving on.

Furthermore: Olympic champion Maarten van der Weijden takes us along on the journey of the courage to start (again). And deep democracy trainer Mireille Ollivieira speaks about having courageous conversations.

After a joint lunch with this morning’s participants, you can dive into the full program of The Biggest Knowledge Festival .

Naturally, Steven van den Heuvel offers you a roadmap for change for this program. With inspiring contributions from, among others: Elke Wiss, Ivo Brughmans, Bram Verbruggen, Kees Klomp, Marianne Janssen, Femke Nijboer, Bas van Kesteren, Malinca Verwiel, Ariane van Heijningen, and Jeroen Kemperman.

Discover new perspectives on change during the Change Festival 2026 in Deventer, with inspiring speakers and interactive workshops for all change professionals. Join us in Deventer on June 19, 2026!
