Lime Venue Portfolio is set to host its signature roundtable with event agency leaders at International Confex 2025, with this year’s focus, ‘Designing purposeful events: a guide to social responsibility, social enterprises, and lasting impact.’
The interactive 50-minute workshop will bring together leading experts to explore how event professionals can create meaningful, socially responsible events that support social enterprises and leave lasting legacies for communities.
Confirmed contributors include some of the panellists from the brand’s earlier session at Confex on the People & Culture Theatre (sponsored by Lime Venue Portfolio) ensuring continuity and depth in the discussion.
The line-up includes:
- Jo Austin, sales director, Lime Venue Portfolio
- Sammy Connell, head of events at NASUWT – The Teacher’s Union, and ABPCO chair
- Biff Lawrence, managing director, KERB
- Abena Fairweather, managing director of Legacy Events (TBC)
- Gabby Austen Browne, founder, Diversity Alliance
- Natalie Sykes, sustainability manager, Excel London
- Kate Holliday, head of ESG, GES
A broader commitment to industry advancement
As the lead sponsor of the People & Culture Theatre, Lime Venue Portfolio has collaborated with Diversity Alliance to co-develop a content programme that underscores its commitment to fostering innovation, inclusion, and impact in the events industry.
Coinciding with these educational programmes is the launch of Lime Venue Portfolio’s new ESG (environmental, social, and governance) event planning guide series.
Released over 12 months, the guides offer practical frameworks for member venues and event organisers to incorporate ESG principles into their events.
Following the successful launch of the ‘E’ (environmental) Guide in November, the ‘S’ (social) Guide will debut at International Confex.
International Confex runs from 26-27 February at Excel London.
