Could you help to make the event happen?
Tamsin Bishton, one of the event organisers, from Wilsome LLP, says: “We’re aiming for an event that welcomes attendees who don’t have big training budgets, so we’re keeping prices low. We have already had incredible logistical support from our organising partners at Greenhouse Communications, Hiyield and the team at Kew’s wild botanical garden at Wakehurst. Now together with our promotional partners at Clean Growth UK and The Living Coast we’re working hard to find sponsors that help us unlock 50 free places for those who wouldn’t otherwise come.”
Perhaps that’s where your business could help?
Sponsorship opportunities start from £500 – with options to suit larger and smaller organisations.
Support from forward-thinking organisations who would like to be part of this event will enable them to get their brands in front of an engaged and creative group of communications professionals. For businesses that have made commitments to nature, sustainability and social responsibility this is an opportunity to meet those promises with real-world action.
