Sustainability Summit: Building sustainable travel and events programmes

Join the conversation on reducing impact and improving performance.

Date: 01 June 2026
Time: 2 – 5pm
Venue: ICC Belfast

Join us on 01 June at ICC Belfast for an afternoon of insight, discussion and practical action.

As business travel returns under greater scrutiny, organisations face increasing pressure to reduce emissions while still supporting growth, employee wellbeing and commercial performance.

Join peers and industry experts for a focused event exploring how smarter travel and events strategies can deliver measurable sustainability outcomes without compromising business objectives.

We'll be exploring

Sustainability and performance are not competing priorities

Drawing on best practice frameworks, we’ll explore practical strategies including how travel and events programmes designed together can reduce Scope 3 emissions, improve efficiency and create stronger experiences for employees and stakeholders, from smarter carbon budgeting and reduced air travel to rail, lower carbon transport and responsible venue choices.

We’ll also examine how data, culture change and leadership can drive long term impact, aligning ESG goals with cost efficiency and operational reality including:

Smarter carbon budgeting and policy design
Reducing unnecessary air travel
Prioritising rail for domestic and short haul journeys
Lower carbon ground transport options

Responsible venue sourcing and sustainable event planning
Using data to track progress and inform decisions
Creating culture change that drives lasting behaviour shift
Leadership actions that turn ambition into measurable results
