Agenda
Building Tomorrows World has an interesting programme of speakers and workshops and we are excited that so many inspiring people have agreed to take part. The conference is all about information and practical advice. So as well as the formal programme the conference venue will be full of information stands and exhibitions to allow participants to find information that it relevant to them and their organisations.
Exhibitors will include Dublin based organisation ENFO with information on sustainable living, Action Renewables, Belfast City Council, Energy Savings Trust, WWF, Carbon Trust, Tools for Solidarity and Asset Management Ireland.
If you haven’t seen Al Gores amazing film An Inconvenient Truth you can grab a cup of fair trade coffee and watch it in a side room where it will be playing all day. If you are feeling more energetic you can make your own smoothie using cycle power. If the conference inspires you, confuses you or worries you, you can record your thoughts in our very own diary room.
