New theatres, new content, new opportunities
With a brand new keynote stage, an
extended and improved, CPD-accredited
seminar programme and dedicated
theatres for water, energy and energy
recovery, this year's Sustainability Live has
been designed to deliver what visitors want
and need to run their businesses better
and more sustainably.
And, of course, there will be more than 250
exhibitors on hand to showcase their products
and services and share their expertise with
all visitors to the NEC on April 1-3.

debating the latest sustainability policy and
practices affecting business. With content
for the energy and water management,
energy recovery and water and wastewater
treatment markets, panellists and expert

regulators and sustainability practitioners.
Highlights include 'What will it take to keep
the lights on?' and 'Fields of gold? Fracking

Ellen Bennett, 'Greening the Manifestos
– what must the parties pledge to deliver
a sustainable UK?' and 'Sweet Dreams:
