Gala Dinner

The Gala Dinner provided the platform and space for organisations and individuals to make vital connections, enabling collaboration under a common goal - to progress sustainability.

The dinner began with a drinks reception, followed by a gourmet 3-course dinner, prepared using locally and sustainably-sourced produce.

With organisations taking the lead in addressing the climate and ecological emergency, this was a great opportunity to network, learn and celebrate.
