Zero Waste Forum 2018: Global Crisis, Local Solutions, Towards Zero Waste

 

---

The Zero Waste Forum is an annual event for social enterprises, community organisations, local governments and waste management professionals who are reducing waste through Reuse, Repair and Recycling. This year's forum will focus on Australia's move towards a Circular Economy, with a focus on gaining skills and insights into ways that the Community Reuse and Recycling Sector are contributing to this. Be a part of the national discussion through keynote presentations, discussion panels, workshops and more.

We've wrangled some of Australia and the world's most prominent figures in the sector to present and collaborate at this year's forum, which is bound to be the most essential platform for all organisations, large and small to learn about and participate in one of the most important national discussions affecting our sector.

Earlybird pricing is offered to organisations who grab their tickets before 5pm Sept 24th. Tickets are limited so make sure you get in quick!

Click the link below to visit the event page for more details and to book your tickets - there are only 60 tickets available, and they are on sale at super special pricing until 24th September or until sold out, so don't delay!

We have bent over backwards to keep the ticket costs down as low as possible to minimise financial barriers that we know many organisations in our sector may face, as we believe that all attendance at the forum is an investment into our combined growth and infrastructure. We will be able to provide a further discount on a small amount of tickets, however due to the cost to us providing these we will have to be extremely selective. Please contact us if you would like to attend but are unable to cover the costs, and we will do everything we can to assist in getting you there. 

Hope to see as many of your there as possible representing and advocating on behalf of the sector - the time is ripe, and the country is ready!
