CRCL FEST

Welcome to CRCL Fest. One day. 300 people. Full circle. Systemic change needs more than another conference. CRCL Fest is built to be lived. Last year, 150 people joined our first Doughnut Economics Circus. This year, we become CRCL Fest and double the circle with Kate Raworth back. “It was absolutely epic! So happy I was there to experience such magic and community.” Stephanie, CRCL Fest 2025 attendee. Economist & Author, Kate Raworth headlines as ringmaster with her new show, How Rich Is Too Much? She is joined by a troupe of radical creators: a vegan drag creature, America's #1 Wizard, a royal snail, your MC Lionel Exposito and more. On Nov. 20, you don't just watch the magic, you become part of the act. Join avant-garde performances, hands-on workshops, and live conversations. Meet circular startups from Amsterdam. Rethink. Repair. Regenerate. Circular founders. Impact investors. Sustainability professionals. Academics. Activists. Young voices. Curious minds. Same circle, same day. Priced low on purpose: the circle only works if it's full. 🎪 Main Ring How Rich Is Too Much?, Kate Raworth Vegan Drag Liberation, Soya the Cow The Royal Snail, The Broccoli Smuggler & BB Queen ❌ Amsterdam Circular Founders Booomtag: Digital product passports CupXchange: Reusable cup rental Ontspulknul: Neighborhood declutter days Packbags: Modular bag system Rebottled: Upcycled glassware design Renewaball: Circular tennis and padel balls RepareerSimpel: Gadget repair platform Swapped: Furniture swapping The Swap Club: Circular clothing swaps VNYX: Vintage fashion sorting with robots ⭕️ Hands-On Circle Rethink, repair, regenerate with your own hands and voice.
