Good Festival Ambition

The festival is planned as a Good Festival with ‘for good’ being a core value running through everything. This will ensure a focus on quality, inclusivity, diversity, accessibility, and sustainability.

We are committed to minimising the impact of our events on the environment, and have therefore chosen a set menu with a low carbon footprint. We work closely with our clients, venues, suppliers and delegates to reduce the impact of our activity wherever possible.

Last year, the festival’s curated events generated 18.19 tCO₂e, and we offset this by supporting Dynamo Digital Inclusion Fund. More measures will be intoduced this year, tracking the festival's carbon footprint once again, leading us to further reduce our impact and become carbon neutral in future years.

You will be asked to complete some questions about your planned travel which will help us create the carbon footprint for the festival.

• Up to 12 weeks before the event starts - full refund
• More than 8 weeks before the event starts, but less than 12 weeks - 50% refund
