“In a locked down world, the best opportunity for Strategic Planning professionals to network and exchange views this year” EKKI
Tallinn Forum conferences brings together the people and companies redefining European Cities and Landscapes.
What is the Tallinn forum?
We are a not for profit partnership from Sweden, Estonia, and the UK, with the mindset that bold Strategic Plan-making, coupled with strong decision-making, leads to Visible Sustainable Development Outcomes for Communities.
At a time of great uncertainty, we are seeking to promote a forward-looking strategic planning culture that address the issues of today and the solutions for tomorrow within Sustainability planning, and to ask a simple question: Where to next?
Our VIRTUAL ONLINE conference format is simple. Tailored interactive sessions led by recognised experts allowing the maximum time for networking discussion and topic exploration. At a Tallinn Forum event you will spend more time debating in small group discussion!
Strategic Ideas Worth Sharing
The objectives of the Tallinn Forum are to lead networking opportunities for the exchange of knowledge and best practice, using the platforms of debate, inter-communication, training and research between sustainable planning community, decision-makers, and business
