LATITUDE CONFERENCE SERIES 2018


2018.11.01 at Sky31 Convention

WHY ENGAGE WITH THIS CONFERENCE?

The world is changing at pace.

Disruptive thinking is changing the face of ‘traditional’ business models.

Mobility is being defined by convergent technology and agriculture is being turned on its head by well funded start-ups delivering meat without animal slaughter.

The pace of this change is staggering so Innovation & Sustainability focuses on practical solutions and provides a platform for collaboration.

Be sure to join the most intense 1-day conference + workshop on the sustainability calendar and meet with the global players bringing this change to our door.
