BE-ST Fest, delivered by BE-ST (Built Environment – Smarter Transformation), is the UK’s biggest festival for a zero carbon built environment and plays host to transformative discussion and knowledge exchange on how we can break through barriers to accelerate our journey to net zero. This year, we are tackling debates on how we can scale solutions and create a viable path to a sustainable future for the built environment, with speakers sharing their real world experiences about what works, what doesn’t, and how to make change happen that benefits businesses, the environment and citizens.
