Where Serious Sustainability Work Moves Forward
Wednesday 21st Jan 2026This collaborative afternoon brings together Aston University, sustainability practitioners, and business leaders to remove the friction between ambition and delivery.
Built as a follow-on from the SUSTAIN UnConference, the focus is simple. What happens next, and who can help.
It’s a space for practical questions, honest constraints, and conversations that lead somewhere useful.
The themes reflect what the community has already said matters most, with the agenda sharpening as the event approaches.
Together, this growing group is proving that sustainability moves fastest when expertise, trust, and action meet in the same room.
This afternoon is for people actively involved in sustainability, innovation, and delivery, who want clearer pathways to make progress.
You’ll find value here if you are:
- A business owner or senior leader exploring sustainable innovation or R&D
- A sustainability or ESG professional working within real organisational constraints
- A consultant or advisor supporting clients on sustainability and transition
- A researcher or academic interested in applied impact and collaboration
- A funder, partner, or ecosystem builder connecting ideas to delivery
