Unsung hero of sustainability Andrew Dixon, former banker turned green activist, owner and operator of two private island resorts in Indonesian waters – Nikoi Island and Cempedak Island - will discuss his broad sustainability platform that takes in not only conservation – but critically culture, community and commerce.

Stories will cover everything from micro-financing and cultural integration to a school that now numbers over 600 students – providing vital support and development systems that go much further than tree planting and the banning of single use plastics.
He will be interviewed by David Johnson, former journalist and founder of Delivering Asia, one the region’s leading integrated communications firms and a keen proponent of the travel industry as a force for positive social change.

Other highlight speakers include Jerawan (Blue) Srepetchdanond, Jerawan (Blue) Srepetchdanond is a founder and a director of Intrinsics, a sustainable building design consulting company. Jerawan works with clients and development teams to ensure building and facilities deliver high environmental performance, support a healthy environment, and reach their sustainability objectives and goals including certifications such as LEED, TREES, Green Star Australia, WELL, and Fitwel.

As well as the leadership sessions and range of 18 workshops and learning platforms, is an exhibition space showcasing the region’s best-in-class innovators in sustainability. These include Winnow, leading exponents on the opportunity food waste provides in terms of driving efficiencies and margins by using AI; Diversey, a global firm excelling in hygiene and cleaning solutions, and outdoor accommodation experts Escape Nomade.

We are excited to broaden the learning experience this year – and establish ourselves as a leading regional platform for the industry to educate themselves about not only positive social and environmental change – and how they can make a contribution – but learn how this can have a positive impact on their bottom line. co-founding partner Bill Barnett, Managing Director of C9 Hotelworks
