• Who is Innovation Forum?
    Innovation Forum is an independent London-based company with decades of collective experience in sustainability events and publishing. We research, create, and facilitate debate-driven, focused events tackling the critical business sustainability challenges around the world.

    Over the past few years we’ve created successful annual and regional events, including those focused on preventing deforestation, sustainable agriculture, human rights and modern slavery and industry specific conferences in sustainable apparel and sugar production.

  • What is the objective of this conference?
    The primary objectives of this conference will be to:
    1. Highlight how business can create, demonstrate and measure progress in sustainable innovation
    2. Equip business with the practical guidance to develop and implement strategies for impact measurement
    3. Drive progress that works for consumers, the environment, utility and business reality
    4. Showcase the most effective methods currently used by business to measure tangible and intangible impacts of their sustainability programs
    5. Facilitate collaboration between key actors across the value chain
  • What makes this conference different?
    Focused content designed for action and practice – the focus of the agenda and event structure are designed to provide actionable tools and practical insights that you can then apply to your own company.

    More time for genuine discussion –  the agenda and timings have been built to provide time for in-depth debate and meaningful exchange beyond introductions and superficial outlines of initiatives. There will be a lot of experience in the room and therefore we intend for the discussions to be participatory.

    Held under the Chatham House rule – this event is not intended as a PR platform – we hold the event under a covenant of confidentiality to promote honest exchange.
  • Who attends?
    The 2019 conference will welcome delegates representing corporates, NGOs, suppliers, traders, development agencies, investors, government bodies and other relevant organisations.

  • Are sponsorship opportunities available?
    At Innovation Forum, we are always looking for new organisations who are able to support the work that we do, and promote leading debate and discussion. 

    Innovation Forum events offer a fantastic opportunity for sponsors to be able to showcase their work to, and network with, a room full of focused, relevant and senior sustainability professionals.
