Workshops
Applied Learning Workshops
We are actively planning a series of focused, hands-on workshops that complement the core themes of ECO Sustain and IPEC, bridging sustainability and process excellence. These sessions are designed to move beyond concepts and deliver practical tools, frameworks, and methods that participants can directly apply in their plants, projects, and organisations. Led by experienced industry experts, technology providers, and practitioners, the workshops will cover areas such as digitalisation and automation, energy and resource efficiency, environmental compliance, circular practices, and decarbonisation strategies.
Designed in interactive formats including live demos, problem-solving exercises, and Q&A, these Practical Impact Labs will equip attendees with actionable insights, checklists, and implementation roadmaps relevant to both sustainability-focused and process-intensive industries. We also welcome interest from industry leaders, solution providers, and institutions looking to host or co-create workshops aligned with these themes, and invite them to connect with the organising team to explore collaboration opportunities.
