At GEI17, we bring together global innovators and sector leaders to share, network, and accelerate environmental and social actions to make impactful changes in all kinds of events. With the engagement of key stakeholders and Government policy makers all under one roof, GEI is the key event that gathers the brightest minds in sustainability to discuss, innovate, and celebrate the future of green events worldwide.

The reach and influence of events, music and sports are crucial in changing hearts and minds, whilst Governments are crucial in shaping policy and national strategy to allow businesses to thrive during this vital transition. We’re so happy to welcome Minister for Climate Kerry McCathry to GEI17, where even stronger bridges will be built to achieve our common goals together.”
