The sixth annual event will return to Central London in early winter, with early bird tickets on sale now and the first speakers announced.

Organisers have already unveiled details of the first three speakers. These include Rezina Chowdhury, Deputy Leader of Lambeth Council, member of Labour’s National Policy Forum and Vice Chair of London Councils’ Transport & Environment Committee. 

Responsible for action on climate and the advancing ecological emergency, and sustainable mobility in the borough, she leads on the local Carbon Reduction Plan and transport strategy.
