Get tickets

Sustainability Business Live is a closed event and all attendees pay for tickets, except for a select group of potential “buyers” whose tickets are covered by our generous sponsors. Examples of buyers include inhouse sustainability/ESG directors, procurement managers, operations managers and CFOs who are searching for products and services to help their business become more sustainable. Other attendees need to purchase tickets. More info about who qualifies as a buyer vs seller can be read here.

Once you have received a VIP Ticket, you will have the option of upgrading to a VIP Plus Ticket which includes lunch catering vouchers, and entrance to the After Dark Party.

Not at all. Compared with similar industry events, our tickets are typically two to three times more affordable. Yet your pass provides access to 10 concurrent conference streams and Australia’s largest B2B sustainability trade show, bringing together hundreds of solution providers and industry leaders under one roof—delivering exceptional value for professionals serious about sustainability and business transformation.

A conference is primarily focused on presentations and discussions, where speakers share ideas, research and insights with an audience. A trade show, on the other hand, is focused on doing business. Companies exhibit their products, services and solutions, allowing buyers and decision-makers to meet suppliers, compare technologies, build partnerships and make purchasing decisions. Events like Sustainability Business Live combine both formats — offering high-level conference sessions alongside a large exhibition floor where real business takes place.

Sustainability Business Live is designed for professionals responsible for delivering sustainability outcomes across their organisation, including:

• Sustainability and ESG leaders
• CEOs and senior executives
• Finance and risk teams
• Procurement and supply chain managers
• Operations and facilities managers
• Energy and decarbonisation specialists
• Government and policy professionals
• Investors and climate-tech innovators

Sustainability Business Live brings together the entire business team involved in sustainability transformation.

Yes. Sustainability Business Live is designed specifically for senior decision-makers and business leaders responsible for sustainability, ESG strategy, finance, procurement, operations and corporate transformation. The event features the most senior speaker line-up ever in Australia, with CEOs, board members, government leaders, major corporate sustainability executives and industry pioneers sharing practical insights and real-world case studies.

While many corporate buyers and sustainability professionals are invited to attend for free, this does not reduce the quality or seniority of the audience or the content. In fact, it ensures the event attracts the right decision-makers and budget holders.

Sustainability Business Live is not just a traditional conference or “talk fest”. It is a serious business environment where organisations come to meet partners, evaluate solutions and make commercial decisions about decarbonisation, ESG strategy and sustainable operations.
