ABOUT THE CN SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT


24 JULY 2024 | CHICAGO BOOTH LONDON CONFERENCE CENTRE

Over the past few years, sustainability has become a critical global priority due to our increasing awareness of the risks our planet faces without immediate action. Embracing the concept of sustainability is vital, but it's essential to first comprehend its meaning and implications.

Launched in 2022, the CN Sustainability Summit is an ideal opportunity to examine what the events sector is doing well and identify areas for improvement. This event provides a platform to evaluate the industry’s sustainable impact, discuss best practices and generate ideas on how to address the key issues hindering efforts to create a sustainable future for events.

Interested in attending? Get notified for its return in 2025, or find out about our sponsorship opportunities.
