GreenTech Gathering

Calling all community members! 📣📣 We’d like to shine a spotlight on one of our longest-standing members, Ashleigh Brumpton... Ashleigh has been a friendly face at our GreenTech Gathering events, and many of you have likely had the pleasure of meeting her. She’s now up for the Sky Zero Local Footprint Heroes competition and could use our help to gather votes! If you haven’t yet met Ashleigh, check out the fantastic work she and her team are doing at BB Designs, leading in sustainable interior design, building, and furniture crafting.

We're committed to building an inclusive and diverse community. However, like many industry events, we’ve seen that speaker line-ups often remain male-dominated, with limited representation of women and other marginalised or minority groups. We believe that diverse voices bring fresh perspectives and create richer discussions, especially in tech and sustainability. 🌍 While we already have an incredible line-up of speakers, we know there’s even more talent out there! So whether you're an expert in GreenTech, sustainability, or innovation - Your voice matters, and we’d love to have you on stage. GreenTech Gathering is a platform for speakers from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to share their knowledge. Know someone who would be a perfect fit? Tag them in the comments below! 👇 Until next time, Mary & the GreenTech Gathering team 💚 #diversityintech #womenintech #inclusivity
