Real Circularity Summit Returns

Join the movement toward a truly circular economy – from anywhere in the world.

The Real Circularity Summit is back and this year, it’s more engaging than ever. Hosted virtually and featuring a powerful line-up of keynote speakers, the summit invites both newcomers and returning attendees to dive into the global conversation on circular economy practices that go beyond buzzwords.

The next summit, taking place on 21 June 2025, will be co-hosted by Ken Alston and Rachel Sheila Kan, respected leaders in sustainability and circular design, the summit will be guided by voices deeply committed to systems change. Alston brings decades of experience in sustainable business strategy, while Kan is known for her pioneering work in circular fashion and systems thinking.

Walter R. Stahel, the Swiss architect who helped invent the concept of the circular economy, will share insights from his decades of work building a future based on reuse, longevity, and systems design. Joining him is Gil Friend, one of America’s most influential voices in sustainable business, with over 50 years of experience advising both cities and corporations on how to embed sustainability into their core strategies.

They’ll be joined by an impressive line-up of diverse global voices including Clare Press, Sruthi Viswanathan, Samantha Taylor, Tod Gimbel, and Lucy Kebbell, each bringing fresh ideas and industry insights to inspire action.

Unlike traditional virtual events, this summit is designed to be truly interactive and attendees will have the chance to engage in breakout discussions, connect directly with speakers, and explore solutions collaboratively with change makers from around the world.
