ChangeNOW, without the overwhelm

Join a small, curated cohort of UK-based Change Champions for an energising, human and purposeful experience at ChangeNOW 2027.

Different sectors, different job titles, one shared mindset. Join a carefully curated cohort of like-minded peers for exclusive access, structured reflection and deep connection at the world's largest event dedicated to solutions for the planet. 

The result? A transformative four-day journey to Paris that turns inspiration into action, and new contacts into collaborations that last well beyond the event.

“Thank you for everything, it’s been a superb trip, and worth it on so many levels. As always, I’ve felt warmth and kindness from everyone. Inspired ideas, passion, laughter and some very candid sharing moments, which I love so much, when people feel comfortable enough to open up their hearts and minds and share their fears, challenges alongside all the great stuff speaks volumes for what you are creating with these trips.”

DisComcierge

noun, verb | dis-com-see-airzh

noun

  1. A personal concierge for stakeholder engagement. Someone who opens the right doors, makes the introductions that matter, and turns a huge, overwhelming event into a warm, curated, human experience.

  2. The hand-picked cohort that travels to ChangeNOW in Paris with everything taken care of: access, agenda, dinners, introductions and a ready-made network.

  3. An approach that works for any event or experience, not just ChangeNOW. Wherever there's overwhelm, there's a DisComcierge.

verb

to DisComcierge (an event): to move through it with the right doors opened, introductions made and the logistics handled, so you leave with an expanded and trusted network, not just a lanyard.

“Liz convened the most wonderful group of people to attend ChangeNOW and I was lucky enough to be part of her cohort. Her thoughtful and incredibly detailed planning made me feel so well looked after, safe and welcomed to the event. She is a natural born connector and I love her genuine enthusiasm for connecting the right people for the right conversation. I was also lucky enough to attend a couple of her moderated sessions at ChangeNow which were brilliant - she has such a refreshing and fun approach. Liz is brilliant at what she does and her ability to make strong and human connection in whatever she does should not be underestimated.”

I’m Elizabeth, or Liz for short.

I'm an event producer, moderator and facilitator. I started my own business DisCom (short for 'discombobulated') to put my eventing and superconnecting skills to work for positive change.

Convening people is what I love, and I'm rather good at it. I've built a curated network of change champions, from the most ambitious climate and nature tech entrepreneurs, to corporate leaders, through to thought leaders across many different sectors.

These days I call it being a DisComcierge: part personal concierge, part connector, opening the right doors and making the introductions that matter to you.

Bringing different ideas, sectors and perspectives into the same room is how positive change happens. In an AI-first world, where it's getting harder to know what and whom to trust, I'm holding the line on authentic, curated, in-person experiences, and I use sustainability themes as a universal bridge.

“It really was the best sustainability conference I think I’ve ever been to, and a huge part of that was down to how you curated the experience around it and having this cohort of Changemakers and accountability buddies.”
