Coming to our Dezeen Day conference on 30 October" Here's what we're doing to lessen its impact on the environment, and ways you can help.
Dezeen Day will explore topics including the circular economy and new materials that could replace plastic. We hope delegates will leave feeling inspired about how they can make a difference in future. We've also worked hard to minimise the impact of the conference itself.

Encouraging public transport, walking and cycling
Our conference venue, BFI Southbank, is located on London's pedestrianised riverfront and is close to several Tube stations, the closest being Waterloo (200 metres) and Embankment (600 metres). Numerous buses stop nearby. This makes it easy for delegates to use a combination of public transport and walking to get there. Bicycle parking can be found at Southbank Centre Square, and there are cycle hire stands on Concert Hall Approach, both a short walk from the venue.
For delegates coming by train, there are four mainline stations within easy walking distance: Waterloo, Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Blackfriars.
Speakers have been encouraged to travel by train and to offset their flights if coming by air. Just three of our 18 speakers are flying, all of them from the USA, with the rest of the speakers who are not based in London travelling by train. Dutch speakers Richard Hutten and Nienke Hoogvliet are coming by Eurostar.
For full travel details, see the Southbank Centre website.
