Traditional Conferences Aren't Solving These Problems


That's why we've developed and refined something different: an innovative, participant-driven unconference where corporate leaders collaborate to find practical solutions. No canned presentations. No theoretical discussions. Just real problems and real solutions.

While traditional conferences have preset agendas and canned presentations, the unconference format is dynamic, interactive, and centered around your issues and opportunities.  

Participant-Driven Agenda

    • YOU shape the discussion topics
    • Focus on your actual challenges
    • Move freely between sessions
    • Get specific answers to your questions

Expert & Peer Insights

    • Interactive breakout sessions
    • Cross-industry perspectives
    • Targeted problem-solving sessions
    • Strategic partnership building

Real-World Solutions

    • Share successful strategies
    • Learn from others' experiences
    • Build lasting relationships
    • Gain immediately applicable insights

Participants will shape the actual agenda and session topics on site, but we thought it would be helpful to share a range of session topics attendees might expect to explore at the Summit:

Strategy & Implementation

    • Building winning business cases
    • Integrating climate risk into planning
    • Accelerating partner engagement
    • Securing cross-functional buy-in

Technical & Operational

    • Scope 3 emissions strategies
    • Renewable energy procurement
    • Carbon accounting practices
    • Technology implementation

Leadership & Change Management

    • Building effective green teams
