Hosting and moderating the Nature & Conservation summit, one of six 'Future Of' summits at Earthfest 2026 and a flagship event of London Climate Action Week, making the business case for conserving nature and wildlife.
The Context
A full day of keynotes, panels, case studies and fireside chats at the Aga Khan Centre, bringing together 100+ industry leaders, conservationists, policy makers, investors and thought leaders to turn ideas into action for a nature-positive future. Speakers included Minister for Nature Mary Creagh and Deputy Mayor for Environment & Energy Mete Coban, alongside founders and leaders from Tideways (London Super Sewer), AELTC Wimbledon, Triodos Bank, B Lab UK, Notpla, Agreena and the Wildlife Trusts.
The Challenge
Earthfest is a small but ambitious not-for-profit delivering a multi-summit festival across one of the busiest weeks in the climate calendar, and this was its first year as part of London Climate Action Week. It needed a host who could hold a full day of complex, high-profile content, keep a packed room engaged from opening remarks to the drinks reception, and carry the Earthfest brand and key messages from the stage while making every speaker feel looked after.
The Work
Elizabeth hosted and moderated the full day: opening the summit, introducing speakers, moderating the Spotlight on Climate Activism session, and closing by drawing the day's threads together into a single stakeholder-engagement story.
The production side of hosting was taken care of behind the scenes, including a Notion briefing page shared with panellists, a Tally form for organiser-level information, a session Google Sheet for speaker and moderator self-reporting, and a running script built for the day, so the organisers could stay focused on the wider festival.
Earthfest was named the flagship event of London Climate Action Week, after Elizabeth suggest it be put forward for consideration. She also recommended Ismaela Magliotto Quevedo for the youth voice section, and Elizabeth Scott MBE, an AI leader, as a speaker for the Energy & Transport si
I don't remember being in an event with a host like you before. Your incredible energy yes, but more than that the way you wrapped up every talk in such a smart and engaging way - that was SO impressive. It requires a lot of deep listening to each of those talks and intelligence to summarise your take in 30 secs while also uplifting the room.
