Sustainable refreshments
Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, we are dedicated to making our events as sustainable as possible and therefore working with our suppliers to use food with a low carbon footprint whenever we can. All food served at the Symposium will be vegetarian and vegan - this means that you don’t have to indicate these as dietary requirements when you’re registering. All food at the Symposium will be served on crockery and any plastic trays or cups will be washed and reused.
