It is with great sadness that we have to inform you that David Middleton passed away earlier this year

David had been the main organiser of this event for the last 5 years and was a keen protagonist for the sustainability agenda for over 25 years. He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and all of those in the sustainability movement.

After the massive success of the 2019 event which attracted over 200 delegates from multi national companies, to micro businesses, NGO’s and voluntary organisations, we had intended again at the 2020 event to give attendees the opportunity to network, share knowledge and exchange experiences in tackling the climate crisis.

David had put together a great programme for the 2020 event and we aim to honour his memory and celebrate his tireless work on sustainability by delivering the best event yet in his name.

Unfortunately due to COVID 19 we have had to postpone the event until 22nd April 2021

I do hope you will be able to join us then

We have a range of speakers already committed ( see speaker tab and links at the bottom of the event page).

We are also looking for additional companies/organisations to join whg, Birmingham Energy Institute – University of Birmingham, University of Keele and the RSA to support this event for 2021. If you have a story to tell re action on Climate Change and you wish to profile your company at this exciting event we have room for 2 more sponsors @ £1,250. This would give you a speaking position, logo placement and an opportunity for a table top exhibition at the event.

There are also a limited number of opportunities for Exhibitors @ £300
