Zemo 20th Anniversary Conference 15 June 2023

The Zemo 20th Anniversary Conference 2023 – Zemo 20:ZERO – will focus on the challenges ahead on the road to Net Zero – but it will also review progress made over twenty years.

With leading speakers, interactive exhibitions and great networking opportunities all followed by a celebratory reception – with some fun and surprises lined up – this event is not to be missed!
