CN Sustainability Summit 2023

15Hatfields Chadwick Court,, London, United Kingdom

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. Successfully 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.

20/20 ‘Conferencing’ speed networking event at The Dilly

The Dilly 21 Piccadilly, London

DO YOU ORGANISE CONFERENCES, AGM'S, PRODUCT LAUNCHES, AWARDS CEREMONIES, ETC? DO YOU HIRE EVENT VENUES AND SUPPLIERS? Save yourself 30 days travelling around the UK by attending this one event! Your strength as an event organiser is simply measured by your contacts book and your ability to achieve results and deliver an event each time, no matter how big or small. Your level of results are dependent on the level of seniority of your contacts within the event industry's newest and most charismatic venues and suppliers? Has the covid lockdown annihilated your contacts book? Is it lost and outdated? Do suppliers not know 'who you are'? Do you need the top contacts to make the difference between your next unique event being a Stand Out Event or a Go Home Event?
