11th - 13th October 2022

We have chosen Bristol as the host city of our inaugural event. A city constantly at the forefront of change and adaptation, a city full of creativity and culture, combining rich nautical and maritime heritage, state-of-the-art attractions and world-class events.

It is a city renowned for its Low carbon and sustainability, with credentials as a European Green Capital award winner and the UK’s first cycling city, plus ambitions to become carbon neutral by 2030.

It is centrally positioned geographically, and in addition boasts world-famous street art, and a dynamic theatre and music scene.

For all these reasons we are excited to be based here for our 2021 event.
