Bate-Papo
2026-06-04 | 03:50 PM - 04:10 PM | Fuarizmir - Foyer B
The events industry has made significant strides in its commitment to a net zero future but what does real progress look like and how do we keep the momentum going? This Bate-Papo session brings together leaders driving the Net Zero Carbon Events (NZCE) initiative to share progress, reflect on learnings, and explore what comes next.
The conversation will provide an update on the initiative's latest efforts, including the measurement workstream and the Better Stands programme.
Beyond the updates, the session will explore how the broader industry is translating NZCE commitments into on-the-ground action and where momentum still needs to be built. Expect a frank, peer-to-peer exchange on what’s working, what needs acceleration, and how industry professionals can move from pledge to practice.
About Bate-Papo Corner
Running alongside the lunch & networking breaks, Bate-Papo (bah-tchee-PA-poo) is an informal space for dynamic, small-group conversations. Inspired by the Portuguese term for “chat,” it empowers attendees to shape the dialogue and learn from each other in an open, participatory setting.
Located in the heart of the coffee and networking area, it’s the perfect spot for candid exchanges and sharing insights. All sessions recordings will be converted to "UFI Bate-Papo Unplugged" podcasts and shared to Spotify. Hear the conversations from the UFI Congress in Hong Kong here.
