Sustainability is more than a buzzword—it’s a mindset, a movement, and a responsibility. But what does it really mean? Is it about going green? Circular economies? Ethical business? Social impact? And what about sustainability in Tech and Professional Services? The reality is, sustainability has many dimensions, and we’re bringing them all into focus!
From tackling plastic pollution and redefining responsible design, to empowering mindful consumerism and driving energy efficiency, NextGen Talk 6 brings together diverse voices who are turning sustainability from a buzzword into bold action and real-world impact.
We're proud to introduce our keynote speakers:
- James Scott, Executive Director of TerraCycle Global Foundation, whose work across Thailand’s waterways is transforming waste into possibility. Read More about James
- Danny Saul Bentley, BIM & Sustainability Manager at DWP, leading the charge in sustainable architecture and digital transformation in design. Read More about Danny
- Bruce Rossi, Founder and President of Purpose of Cassava Bags Australia, an eco-tech startup producing biodegradable bags made from cassava root that dissolve in water within minutes (not centuries). Read More about Bruce
These powerful talks will be followed by fireside chats and conversations to spark meaningful dialogue, fresh ideas, practical insight and maybe even a friendly debate. Joining James and Danny on the panel:
- Manisha Misra, Co-Founder of HappyLyfe, making conscious living practical and personal. Read More about Manisha
