There are now more than 400 confirmed attendees for the Better Future Forum on 2-3 July. Here's a final update on what to expect: attendees from around the world will bring their expertise in sustainability, resource use and technology to three themed discussions, moderated by GlobeScan and focused on net positive business.
1. Living within our planet's resources – looking at how we can learn to live within the limits of our planet
2. Making business a net positive contributor – identifying some of the most promising areas where business, and particularly the ICT sector, can maximise its positive environmental impacts
3. From definition to delivery – looking at how business can develop a framework to measure its net positive impacts, engage others to go net positive and build momentum
As well as lively discussions, the Forum sessions will also include live polling, where we'll gauge the temperature of attitudes among forum participants on some of the big issues. And on 3 July, you'll hear from Kevin Moss, programme director of BT's Net Good programme, on how BT's sustainability leadership team has decided to take forward some of the suggestions that emerged from the Forum discussions. He'll also explain how Net Good will be evolving over the months to come.
