Northern Sustainability Summit 2026

The leading sustainability event in the North, for the curious and the experts to come together to make a positive difference
About this Event

The Northern Sustainability Summit is back for 2026! It will bring together hundreds of business leaders from all sectors, from those leading on sustainability to those who are in the early stages of their journey.
Hosted at the iconic Manchester Central, last year’s event included over 40 speakers, 45 exhibitors, four workshops and over 1000 registered delegates.
The focus for 2026 is a return to Elevate's central belief: that business can, and should, be a force for good. We will explore how to blend profits with purpose, and how we can better collaborate to meet both sustainability and commercial targets.
The main stage content (running in the morning) will be a mix of panels, keynotes and lightning talks. The afternoon features several breakout workshops. Sessions cover: business resilience, innovation, industrial decarbonisation, ethical investing, sustainable destinations, property development, embedding ESG, opportunities in hydrogen, and EV charging infrastructure.
The exhibition hall includes our Greenhouse competition winners, sponsors and partners.
Please contact Ilona ([email protected]) for information on sponsoring or exhibiting at the event.
