Our Commitment To Sustainability

London Tech Week’s purpose is to showcase how tech is transforming both business and society by driving important conversations around transformation, diversity and innovation.

Our purposeful content tackles pressing issues facing society today, providing opportunities for the talent of today and tomorrow to develop and thrive, and drives momentum on inclusivity in tech by building the reputation of London as the most open, innovative and inclusive city in the world.

We are committed to running our event in an environmentally and socially responsible way. We also want to go further and inspire the sustainable development of the industry we serve. We gather the tech eco-system and provide a platform for decision makers, industry leaders and entrepreneurs to implement change.

Better stands and sustainable options

Better Stands and sustainable options

At London Tech Week we are committed to delivering a sustainable event for both exhibitors and attendees.

Disposable, single-use stands account for around 80% of the total waste from events in some regions, which is why we have launched the Better Stands programme.

Better Stands is about moving away from the use of disposable stands to not only vastly reduce waste, but also improve the ease, quality, safety and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at our events.

We believe that sustainable, reusable stand options offer a better way forward for the events industry.

As an exhibitor you can work with your Exhibitor Appointed Contractor to design a stand that fits this criteria.

Following up on steps already taken at previous editions and informing the exhibitors and stand contractors about Better Stands, this year we are moving forward and will require all space-only stands to at least reach a Bronze Level.

If you’re unsure of where to start from, please consult our Better Stands Procurement Guide for help when choosing a reusable stand.
