A record-breaking line-up:

170+ sustainability expert speakers joined us for edie 2026.

More than 170 speakers were announced on the edie 26 programme. From engaging, high-level speakers summarising the changing narrative of ESG, which includes the likes of Mike Berners-Lee, Paul Dickinson, John Elkington and Juliet Davenport, to the actionable insight from business representatives from L’Oreal, Microsoft and Danone, the event edie 26 event programme features some of the biggest names in the green economy.

edie 26 brought together some of the most influential voices in sustainability. Across sessions, key themes emerged—from innovation and policy to collaboration and accountability.

We’ll be continuing to explore these topics in the weeks ahead for edie 27 taking place on 13-14 April 2027 at the Business Design Centre London.
