Sustainability

We are working with the venue and all of our suppliers to reduce the environmental impact and increase the positive social and economic contribution of this event. Here are some of the things we are doing:

  • Our chosen venue DoubleTree by Hilton London is easy to reach by public transport.
  • Our procurement process requires our suppliers to demonstrate the steps they are taking to make their own operations sustainable. 
  • Your badge is made of paper (FSC certified) and no plastic badge wallets are used.
  • Our lanyards are made from recycled materials and we ask that you hand them back in at the end of the event so they can be reused. 
  • The majority of the signage we use onsite is reused or recycled after the event. 
  • We are working with sponsors and exhibitors to encourage them to go digital where possible and minimise the amount of materials being disposed of.
  • We have reduced the amount of printed materials which we provide to attendees by switching to digital.
