As sustainability embeds across business functions, leaders need space for honest, focused discussion on the real challenges they’re solving. New for edie 27, edie Circles are small-group working sessions that turn shared challenges into practical action.

Each Circle brings together a curated group of leaders, experts and partners to tackle one clearly defined issue through structured, facilitated discussion - generating tangible insight, agreed actions, and ongoing collaboration beyond the event.

Some sustainability challenges demand deeper collaboration. New for edie 27, edie Forums bring together a curated audience around a business-critical theme - creating focused space for discussion, stronger relationships and practical insight.

Hosted in a workshop-style setting and shaped with edie’s content team, each Forum blends networking, facilitated conversation and thought leadership to spark meaningful dialogue, deliver tangible outputs and build lasting connections with the people that matter most.

As buyers come under increasing pressure to deliver results, they need faster, more targeted ways to find the right partners and solutions. New for edie 27, edie Connect is a curated one-to-one meetings programme that matches decision-makers with solution providers around clearly defined business priorities.

Hosted in a dedicated meetings space, edie Connect enables focused, high-value conversations that go beyond chance networking. Through personalised matchmaking and pre-arranged meetings, it helps organisations make better use of their time onsite while building more relevant, commercially valuable connections.

Innovation is central to the sustainable business transition, but today it must be practical, credible and commercially relevant. New for edie 27, Dragons’ Den sessions give organisations a fast-paced platform to showcase ideas, technologies and solutions designed to spark interest and drive conversation.

Taking place across the event’s stages, these short-form pitches spotlight innovators solving real business challenges — giving attendees fresh insight into emerging solutions and providing partners with a high-impact platform to build visibility and momentum.

As organisations look for new ways to share insight, build profile and extend their reach beyond the event floor, live content is playing an increasingly important role. New for edie 27, the podcast feature gives partners the opportunity to join edie’s editorial team for recorded conversations in front of a live audience.

Designed as a thought leadership platform with life beyond the event itself, these sessions combine the energy of live discussion with the reach of digital content — helping organisations share expertise, raise visibility and connect with audiences before, during and after edie 27.
