Conference News has announced the date and venue for the CN Sustainability Summit 2025.
Now in its fourth year, the event will take place on 15 July 2025, at Chicago Booth London Conference Centre.
Launched in 2022, the event aims to provide a platform for positive sustainable change within the conference and meetings industry, whilst reflecting on the progress the events sector has made so far.
Bringing together sustainability focused event organisers from corporate organisations, associations and event agencies, 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.
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 means and the impact it carries.
In 2025, the conference programme will offer even greater educational value for sustainability-driven event organisers, with practical insights, expert-led sessions and tailored content to support more responsible and future-focused event delivery.
