Airbnb, Uber and Deliveroo are changing our cities, Facebook and Twitter are changing our politics, while manufacturers and retailers are changing the climate. Everything we do has an impact on the world around us; do we have a responsibility to ensure our actions are “good”? And who gets to define “good”, anyhow? Our speakers will address issues of sustainability, ethics and impact, asking what’s important in our work and our day to day lives.
