What people are saying about FOOTPRINT+
-
How can all these industries work together to get the right solution? They can do this in this room at FOOTPRINT+.
-
Coming to the conference you are going to be overwhelmed by content, there are four stages, there are Think Tanks, it will keep you going all day long
-
Events like this are going to set the framework for the and the calibre of the collective voices that we’ve got in this room is absolutely fundamental to the challenges ahead.
-
I don’t know of anything else doing this in the UK that’s doing this all under one roof.
-
The climate emergency is the biggest challenge humanity is facing. At WSP we are proud to be the catalysts of change in our industry. Now, we all need to come together to re-invent the way we design, the way we build and the way live. Footprint+ will help us do this
-
Everyone has an open mind. The mix of points of view creates a live dialogue for learning that I've really enjoyed
-
It's the face-to-face that's been brilliant. We've all got to get on board with this... and everyone has learnt something today
-
Why should someone come here next year? Because this is the place to be
-
This event, it has got a vibe so if you want to come down its a great place to talk to people, meet people and be inspired.
-
This exhibition is going to grow, the subject matter is the most key in our industry. If you are not here you will be left behind!
-
The property sector needs confidence, the energy sector needs advocacy and as a local authority we need resource and finance, and money frankly….
-
On the first day we held our own fringe event and we won quite a substantial project on that night.
-
So why should somewhere come here next year? Because it is THE place to be…
-
This is not just about our industry, it’s about our children, their future and what we’ve done with the planet.
-
50% of all of the carbon emissions that we need to reduce as we get to 2050 have to come from the built environment. It’s from buildings, it’s from construction, it’s from logistics and it’s from infrastructure. So there’s no escaping the destiny here; it has to be the built environment that takes the lead here.”
-
I look forward to working with FOOTPRINT+ over the coming weeks, months and years on this most important of endeavours.
-
FOOTPRINT+ is a really important event. I’m meeting people from the investment community, property owners, property developers, construction businesses. Commit to two or three days. The location’s fantastic, with the sea view out of the window, it gives more energy to the room.
-
FOOTPRINT+ is the premier net zero event for the built environment sector and, with our focus on ‘local’, we are delighted that it has recognised the key role that Local Government has in tackling climate change
