LATITUDE CONFERENCE SERIES 2017


LATITUDE CONFERENCE SERIES 2017

WHY ENGAGE WITH THIS CONFERENCE?

The world is changing at pace.

Traditional resources are running out. The negative impact of pollution on lifestyle and health is clear to all. Users are taking a different view of ownership and the value of goods.

Innovative companies see the limits of a linear business model and are leading the way with a model that meets the changing environment – the circular economy.


This year’s conference and workshop series focuses on the practical application of circular economy principles and disruptive design.

It provides a platform for you or your organisation to be part of something positive and global.
