The fourth annual Sustain Exchange Summit will convene leaders from diverse organisations to discuss strategies for mitigating the climate crisis. The conference, scheduled for Wednesday, 16 October at ICC Belfast, will provide a platform for local leaders to tackle pressing sustainability challenges and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.
Renowned speakers such as John Elkington, the "Godfather" of global sustainability, and Lucy Siegle, a prominent writer and broadcaster, will share their insights on climate action. Additional speakers include serial change-maker Chris Hines MBE and UN Committee member Eimear Manning.
A panel of local sustainability pioneers, including Katrina Thompson from Artemis Technologies, will also contribute to the summit. Artemis Technologies is a Belfast-based company dedicated to decarbonising the maritime industry.
The Summit is organised by the non-profit Management and Leadership Network (MLN) and supported by Belfast City Council, Danske Bank, ICC Belfast, Carbonfit, and Solmatix Renewables.
MLN's Jessica Higginson said: "The climate crisis is the biggest leadership challenge of our time. However, I believe that hope follows action, and the Sustain Exchange Summit will provide local leaders with insights, inspiration and impetus to act.
"This event is an example of true cross-sector collaboration and shared learning, and I would like to thank all of our partners for the leadership they are showing on this most important issue."
There are a limited number of in-person places available for purchase for the event, which will take place at ICC Belfast between 10am–2.30pm.
Tickets have been heavily subsidised by the event partners however pre-registration at www.sustain-exchange.com is essential.
