OXCAN will also be launching its Just One Step campaign at the conference. We are inviting our alumni and guests to come and listen to our inspirational speakers, and then to pledge  ‘Just One Step’ they will make to support personal or community climate change action. (Feel free to pledge more than one step if you want to).

In the autumn will be checking in with alumni and guests to see how their pledges are working and what impact they are having.

All tickets include lunch plus refreshments upon arrival, mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
