The 2026 Programme.

Six stages packed with award-winning content.

A circular economy is not only crucial to combatting climate change, but provides new systems to spur job growth, stimulate innovation and protect the world’s eco-systems.

Our Circular & Supply Chains Stage plays host to much-needed discussions about how to transform business models, improve resource efficiency, and create more environmentally and socially sustainable supply chains.

A circular economy is not only crucial to combatting climate change, but provides new systems to spur job growth, stimulate innovation and protect the world’s eco-systems.

Our Circular & Supply Chains Stage plays host to much-needed discussions about how to transform business models, improve resource efficiency, and create more environmentally and socially sustainable supply chains.

Delivering a just and sustainable transition requires visionary leadership and a skilled, empowered workforce.

Our all-new Leadership & Skills Stage explores how organisations can cultivate purpose-driven leaders and equip teams with the practical capabilities needed to drive change. Through inspiring stories and practical guidance, this Stage prepares today's and tomorrow's leaders to unlock human potential for a thriving, net-zero future.

The net-zero transition represents the greatest environmental, social and economic opportunity of our time.

From the transition to clean energy and adoption of onsite tech through to the decarbonisation of the built environment and mobility systems – the Energy, Buildings & Transport Stage is a must-attend for sustainability and energy leaders and practitioners looking to turn net-zero targets into action.

The way that sustainability is communicated and reported is radically changing. From heightened scrutiny on corporate claims to increased disclosure requests, engagement is a vital part of any sustainability strategy.

The Engagement & Reporting Stage equips sustainability leaders and practitioners with the tips, tools and knowledge to influence and engage with key stakeholders, and evolve non-financial reporting strategies to truly maximise impact.

The scale of the climate challenge demands bold ideas, disruptive technologies and new ways of thinking.

Powered by edie's global innovation platform Springwise, our brand-new Innovation & Transformation Stage showcases pioneering solutions, breakthrough business models and cutting-edge collaborations that are enabling systems change and accelerating the transition to a regenerative economy.
