Network Conference And Awards
The Keep Britain Tidy Network Conference and Awards celebrate and recognise excellence in the field of environmental sustainability and waste prevention.
This annual event brings together decision-makers, businesses, and individuals from across the public and private sectors to share best practice and inspire innovation in the environmental and waste sector.
Our next conference and awards take place on Thursday 30 January at the Crowne Plaza, Liverpool City Centre.
The event is a great opportunity to learn from best practice, network with other like-minded environment and waste professionals and stay up-to-date on the latest local environmental issues.
This year, we’ll be delving into the impact new government policy could have on environmental quality and waste challenges facing communities across England.
In the evening we will be presenting the trophies to the winners of our eight awards. The awards are open now, so check out the categories and download the application forms here and make sure to enter before they close on the 1st November 2024.
