Winter Conference 2019: Cardiff

The theme of the 2019 Winter Conference is 'Sustainable Success'. Key speakers from across the industry will discuss various hot topics within sustainability in higher and further education, such as coffee cups, plastic, CSR, environmental and social impact, plant-based cuisine, and reusing food waste. 

All documents such as programmes or brochures will be available as PDFs/online throughout the Conference, as opposed to hard-copy printed material.

Following the Conference, you have the option to attend a Cardiff Study Tour where you will explore the Winter Conference sustainability topic further by visiting restaurants and sites in and around Cardiff who subscribe to this topic, to experience a warm Welsh welcome and immerse yourselves in some great regional food experiences. The study tour will commence on the evening of the 4th December, immediately following the Winter Conference.

The Winter Conference will be as paperless as possible. All material and important information will be available on an app, Whova, which you should download prior to the Conference. The app will allow you to; view the agenda, view speaker information, post comments/questions to the speakers, connect with other attendees, and view the menu for the dinner. You will also be able to let other attendees know what time you arrive at the airport or station, so you can share a taxi to the University. If you have not received an email about how to download the app, and you are booked on, please contact [email protected].
