The ECESP Annual Conference will provide a high-level platform to discuss the ambitions, scope and policy direction of the Circular Economy Act, situating it within the broader EU framework, investment needs and global developments. While the CEA will be central to the discussions, the programme will also address related initiatives, such as the EU Bioeconomy Strategy and the implementation challenges that must be overcome to create a competitive and fair circular single market.

Designed to facilitate genuine two-way communication, the conference will bring together policymakers, business leaders, financial experts, civil society representatives, youth leaders and regional stakeholders to exchange experiences, perspectives and visions. 

It aims to support evidence-based decision-making, clarify expectations, identify common challenges and build a shared understanding of the CEA's role in the EU policy landscape. Participants will have opportunities to co-create circular projects, strategies and narratives that reflect Europe's diversity.

It will be two days of talks, discussions and workshops. The networking village will shine a spotlight on interesting circular initiatives, and there will be plenty of opportunities for networking!

Registration for in-person participation is now closed, but most of the sessions will be livestreamed.
