Event Review: Sustainability LIVE Virtual
• Kayleigh Shooter • Apr 21, 2023

We hosted our latest event on Wednesday, this time, we went fully virtual and hosted Sustainability LIVE New York, and were joined by some world-class American speakers who took a deep dive into sustainability, ESG, and net-zero.

Through our partnership with the event streaming application, Brella, we were able to provide the audience with an immersive and collaborative event experience. Attendees were able to match make and network with other attendees beforehand, send live questions to speakers, join “breakout” coffee meetings during the event, and much more.

We were joined by many high-class speakers who shared some exclusive insights into their expertise, ESG, net zero, and more.
We were joined by IBM’s Sheri Hinish, General Motors’ Kristen Siemen, UPS’ Laura Lane, Bayer’s Miya Howell, and many more insightful keynote speakers. 

All of the virtual sessions were highly insightful to both us and the audience, we outline some of our favourite sessions below - from the sustainable supply chain forum to the imposter syndrome panel.
