Now in its fifth year, BusinessGreen’s Net Zero Festival has become the go-to gathering for industry professionals and thought leaders dedicated to driving positive change in the field of sustainability.
Taking place 22-23 October at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London the free-to-attend event will bring together over 3,000 business leaders, clean tech providers, sustainable investors, green campaigners and environmental policymakers to jointly explore how to turbocharge the transition to net zero.
This year’s event will provide an invaluable opportunity to celebrate and showcase the best of the UK’s vibrant net zero economy at a pivotal time in the country’s decarbonisation efforts.
An incredible lineup of speakers is taking part, with over 100 trailblazing experts set to join the event across four stages: Inspiration, Action & Engage, Showcase and BusinessGreen Intelligence.
Each arena promises to deliver pioneering insights and spark innovative ideas.
Confirmed speakers include festival hosts James Murray, Lucy Siegle and Philippa Forrester, plus keynote speakers broadcaster Simon Reeve and climate scientist Emily Shuckburgh as well as Rain Newton-Smith, chief executive of the CBI.
