Daniel Hemsley, Co-Founder, Beagle Button

Daniel will be speaking on “Why don’t consumers make sustainable choices?” 73% of people say they want to make more sustainable choices but very few actually do. Why is that and what role can technology play in helping bridge the gap between intention and action? Our recommendation engine has put 50,000 sustainable alternatives in front of eco shoppers, we’ll share what we’ve learnt and what actually moves the dial on sustainable consumption.

Laura Millar, Six Agency

Laura will be speaking about the two sides of consumerism; Watch what you sell & watch what you buy. She will discuss why as businesses we need to be purpose-led, but also as individuals we need to understand the behavioural biases which some businesses use to make us buy what we don’t need.

Chris Paton, Managing Director, Quirk Solutions
