Melbourne Eastside Sustainability Meet-Up | October

We're hosting a monthly meet up in Melbourne's inner east for folks who are interested in sustainability.

This will be a free, casual meetup for people who are interested in a range of sustainability topics - climate, conservation, renewable energy, circular economy - and more!

We're interested in running these events as a chance to connect people who are working in a related field or interested in chatting about these topics. 

This month, we're meeting at the Electrify Your Life Expo 2026.

Join us at this annual event run by Electrify Boroondara! Caroline & Sarah will give a short tour of the event to anyone who's interested and then you're welcome to explore the event together and enjoy the different exhibits, entertainment, panels, and food trucks! Caroline is one of the Expo's event organisers and Sarah will be there as an exhibitor at the Lighter Footprints stall during the morning.
