8-9 May 2024 | LONDON

FOOTPRINT+ furnishes the UK’s entire built environment industry with the knowledge, expertise and contacts needed to reduce carbon emissions.

FOOTPRINT+ is an annual 2-day event where every sector of the UK property industry unites to discuss state of the art methods to reduce carbon emissions. If we have any criticism it’s that one theatre is occasionally drowned out by applause from another.

Our delegates are captivated by the knowledge coming off our stages because it’s information they absolutely can’t hear anywhere else.

Often we unearth speakers who have been working away ‘behind the scenes’ in research institutions and what they bring is absolutely hot-off-the-press, unpublished and often just emerging from a patenting which has been rushed in order to hit our show dates

What can I be involved in?

CARBON CONFERENCE

Attendees will be able to listen to carefully selected experts who have demonstrated real progress towards Net Zero in their projects. Delegates will learn in the conference which ambitious carbon-saving projects can be implemented into their own organisations. This is a unique opportunity for real immersion.

FOOTPRINT+ has five main conference streams:

  • Zero Carbon Energy

  • Retrofit Agenda

  • Timber Stage

  • Carbon Insetting

  • Financing the Carbon Revolution

  • Material Futures

EXHIBITOR SHOWCASE

In the exhibition outside the conference, delegates can meet selected companies and organisations who can help them put what they have learnt about in the conference into practice on the ground.

In the Forum delegates can book face to face meetings, either in advance or on the day, with other delegates and conference speakers. They will be able to discuss business in a relaxed and productive environment.

The away-day atmosphere of the event will encourage connection between people whose diaries are normally closed.

ROUNDTABLE DEBATE

High-level debate and exchange of ideas to shape the property planning policy for a zero-carbon future.

Central Government is realising that fundamental policy changes need to be made to reduce embodied carbon in developments; this is where they can meet with the industry to agree a workable way forward which avoids over-complication and contradiction in legislation. 

This is vital to enable change to take place as quickly as it must.

HOSPITALITY

FOOTPRINT+ is located in Old Billingsgate giving us a unique meeting space in the centre of the city. The 2-day programme is designed to facilitate networking opportunities for exhibitors and sponsors alike.

At Breakfast Briefings, Evening Receptions, and Think Tanks, companies are given the opportunity to promote themselves to a handpicked selection of delegates from their potential client-base, providing an unrivalled opportunity to make lasting contacts and form real business leads.

  • 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.”
