beam and the MIA (Meetings Industry Association) have announced the ESG Summit 2025, an unprecedented collaborative event between the two leading industry associations, on 15 September at Warwick Conferences.
This year marks a significant step forward in supporting the business meetings and events sector with a unified approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. Both associations traditionally run their own ESG-focused events, and with overlapping themes and shared goals, this joint approach allows for a more impactful and streamlined experience for members. It’s a considered collaboration that reflects the specific alignment of ESG priorities – rather than a broader shift in event strategy – and is designed to maximise value without duplication.
With content curated in partnership with isla, Greengage, event:decision, Circular Life, and Scopes Carbon, the ESG Summit will offer a fresh, practical and solutions-led programme. Attendees will benefit from powerful keynotes, interactive breakout sessions, and expert-led panel discussions focusing on embedding ESG as a core business strategy.
Reflecting on the decision to collaborate, beam’s Chair, Louisa Watson, said: “This summit represents what the events industry does best, coming together to drive meaningful change. By combining our efforts with the MIA and engaging respected partners across the ESG landscape, we’re able to offer even greater value to our members and empower them with the tools and insights needed to make real progress.”
Shonali Devereaux, Chief Executive of the MIA, added: “The MIA has long been committed to inspiring sustainable, responsible practices. Collaborating with beam provides a powerful, unified platform to build on this commitment. This summit is about amplifying impact by joining forces to cut through the noise and together, we are confident that we can turn shared ambitions into tangible outcomes for both our members and the wider industry.”
The day also includes the unveiling of the latest Temperature Check Report with Anna Abdelnoor from isla, and engaging sessions around wellbeing, inclusivity, and social impact, with a spotlight on Children’s charity, The Rainbow Trust.
The ESG Summit is a must-attend for anyone ready to turn ESG priorities into real business impact.
