Built by Industry Leaders, Shaped by You
Our Headline Themes are set by the Sustainable Manufacturing Strategies Advisory Committee – a group of senior leaders driving change across the industry. These themes anchor the discussions that take place across the Summit.
But the specific topics we dive into? That comes from you. During registration, we ask you to share your priorities, challenges, and focus areas. That input is used to shape the agenda, ensuring every session is timely, relevant, and practical.
The Committee then curates the final programme – from interactive panels to workshops and circle challenges – around what matters most to the people in the room.
A Personalised Experience
No filler. No irrelevant sessions. Every attendee receives a personalised agenda tailored to their registration details, so every discussion, meeting, and workshop you join aligns with your current needs and priorities.
What’s Driving the Conversation
Manufacturers are under pressure to do more with less — cutting emissions, increasing productivity, and staying secure in a fast-evolving landscape. The Sustainable Manufacturing Strategies Summit brings together C-suite leaders, senior decision-makers, and technology innovators to focus on the strategies that matter most right now.
Guided by our expert Advisory Committee and shaped by the real priorities of our delegates, the agenda is built around three core themes. Each one addresses a critical piece of the transformation puzzle, offering practical insights, proven approaches, and the chance to explore solutions with your peers and partners
Below are the Headline Themes that shape every workshop, challenge, and roundtable across the Summit.
