ABOUT THE CN SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT


15 JULY 2025 | CHICAGO BOOTH LONDON CONFERENCE CENTRE

Sustainability has become a global priority as awareness grows around the risks our planet faces without urgent action. While embracing sustainability is essential, it’s equally important to understand what it truly means and the impact it carries.

Launched in 2022, the CN Sustainability Summit offers a valuable opportunity to reflect on the progress the events sector has made in sustainability, while highlighting areas that still need attention. It serves as a platform to assess the industry's environmental impact, share best practices, and explore practical solutions to the key challenges standing in the way of a more sustainable future for events.

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