Energy Highlights from Sustainability LIVE: Net Zero
Now Sustainability LIVE: Net Zero has come to an end, there is no better time to reflect on the success of the bumper two-day spectacular at the QEII Centre in London.
Hosted by sister title Sustainability Magazine on 6 and 7 March, Sustainability LIVE: Net Zero is the first event in BizClik’s Sustainability LIVE series with the core focus on net zero, the target of completely negating the emission of greenhouse gases.
At the event — which connected the world’s sustainability leaders, innovators and pioneers — esteemed speakers shared their expertise and insights, enriching the sustainability discussion and shaping the future across industries with their passion and knowledge.
And with the event being net zero-centric, a whole host of the panels, keynotes, workshops and firesides across the two-day extravaganza touched on the key issues facing the energy industry today as it works toward a greener future.
The calibre of speakers and attendees supported the quality and success of the exhibition, with speakers including executives from the likes of Schneider Electric, Deloitte, Capgemini, General Motors, Polestar, Procter & Gamble, National Grid, NetApp, AWS and Arcadis.
Despite it being the inaugural net zero event, it also was the best attended virtually in BizClik history with thousands both tuning in around the world and packing out the QEII centre to watch and network in person.
