The unmissable conference for the future of sustainable events, and so much more is taking place at the Royal Lancaster London on Tuesday, 24 February 2026.

Impressive speakers including Dan Lambert (manager of Kneecap and COO of Bohemian Football Club), Dale Vince OBE (Chairman of Forest Green Rovers FC, founder of Ecotricity and UN Sport for Climate Action Ambassador), Chris Packham CBE (naturalist, TV presenter, and author), and Katarina Barruk, the extraordinary vocalist singing in Ume Sámi, a critically endangered language her community is reclaiming, will join powerful conversations across the day. Topics span greener tours, festivals and venues, emerging technologies, boycotts, water and sanitation, diversity, and practical sustainable event solutions grounded in real-world experience.
EarthPercent Hour will this year welcome two very special guests in the form of multi-award-winning singer-songwriters Anna Calvi and David Gray. They will be joined by host Cathy Runciman, co-executive director of EarthPercent, the charity founded by Brian Eno, to discuss musical journeys, inspiration, community, and planetary care in GEI’s keynote session Unleashing the Power of Music in Service of the Planet. EarthPercent Hour is always the icing on the plant-based cake of GEI’s programme, with previous guests including Brian Eno, Jarvis Cocker, Moby, Aurora, Jacob Collier, and Declan McKenna.
Alongside thought-provoking panels and case studies, your ticket includes a planet-friendly lunch, networking opportunities, the International AGF Awards, and access to Soho Calling.
Secure your place at the go-to gathering for everyone shaping the future of events across the live sector.
