ELLE Active Forum 2025

What really drives us? How are our choices and ambitions interwoven? Get inspired by thought-provoking talks, interactive workshops, and meaningful encounters during a day dedicated to forward-thinking and personal growth.

The event opens with a powerful keynote from Chloé Macintosh, visionary entrepreneur and co-founder of Made.com. In “Ignite your inner fire and strengthen your voice”, she shows how to transform creative energy into a driving force for your projects.

And that’s only the beginning. Here are just some of the speakers you can look forward to:

• Sophie Makker, entrepreneur and inspirational speaker, challenges you with the question: “What else is possible? If you dare to lead, think big, and live from within yourself.” She’ll encourage you to dream bigger and follow your own path.
• Alix Rufas, expert in female leadership, presents “The Internal Code: AI, astrology and numerology in service of female leadership” — a unique exploration of technology and symbolism designed to boost confidence and self-belief.
• Jennifer Elliot, Oprichtster en designer van Elliot & Ostrich, neemt je mee in haar talk ‘From law grad to jewelry designer: How everyone can create lasting impact by surrendering to their creative legend’, en toont hoe je waarden en carrière met elkaar in balans brengt.
• Emilie Steinbach, specialist in nutrition and holistic health, reveals her insights in “How to optimize your health” — practical strategies for self-care and well-being in the midst of a busy professional life.
• Marie-Ange Levan, mathematician and astrologer, brings an original perspective in “Can you predict the turning points in your career?” — exploring choices and opportunities from a new angle.

And there’s much more…

Beyond the inspiring talks, you’ll also have the chance to take part in hands-on workshops. Learn how to harness artificial intelligence to boost your career, sharpen your public speaking skills, or recharge with dance and meditation sessions designed to bring body and mind into balance. These playful yet enriching moments invite you to see your professional journey with fresh eyes — and to enjoy the process along the way.

Have a project you’re passionate about? The Pitch Room, organized in collaboration with High Her and Orange, gives you the chance to present your idea to business angels and receive valuable guidance. A rare opportunity to bring your ambitions to life in a supportive and empowering environment.

With its diverse program and uplifting energy, the ELLE Active Forum 2025 promises an experience that is enriching, motivating, and fun all at once.
