A more sustainable conference
Small changes, less stuff
We're continuing to look at practical ways to reduce the environmental impact of our conference.
Last year we removed printed conference materials. This year we're taking another small step and going badge-free, so there'll be no delegate name badges.
We'll also be bringing our Come Hungry theme to the conference, with a focus on local and seasonal food.
