Inspire | Connect | Act

Blue Earth Summit is a movement. A dynamic mix of communities, redefining how we work and driven by a love for the outdoors. Each year we bring together makers and mavericks, founders and futurists, adventurers and investors, for three days in one of the most radical cities in the world.

Join our purpose-led gathering for two days of inspirational sessions and speakers in central Bristol, followed by a final day of activity-led networking at The Wave, one of Europe’s premier sporting venues.

11-13 Oct 2023 - Bristol

What an incredible event the Blue Earth Summit was! Jam-packed with talks, workshops, films, art, lots of super awesome and inpiring people. Even a spot of surfing (well more like falling for me!) at the Wave.

Sal Montgomery - Expedition Leader for BBC/ UKTV Documentaries, Professional Kayaker and Adventurer

The Blue Earth Summit certainly didn't disappoint! Any conference that encourages your to network in the lineup at The Wave, on a run or a cycle, the day after an action packed schedule of inspiring speakers at motion nightclub in Bristol definitely gets my vote.

Briony Venn - Corporate Citizenship at Accenture

I wish all conferences were like this. Innovation, collaboration, shared visions. With great keynote speakers, talks on healthy minds, adventure, wildlife, supply chain, sustainability and the change needed from all of us.

Steve Trethowan - Head Of Global Sales at Flexi-Hex
