The AUDE Big Conversation 2025 took place at Lancaster University on 11 and 12 November 2025. We are very grateful to all of our speakers and delegates for their contributions; to the team at Lancaster for their warm welcome and hospitality; and to supporters AECOM & Vital Energi for their help in making the event happen.
Thanks to AECOM's Steven Jenkins our host for the day, and to Lancaster's Paul Morris and team, including all those responsible for our fascinating site tours.
Attendees had the chance to hear from an expert panel including Anna Cockman, Scott Lutton, Lauren Bright, Tom Lelyveld and Kit Gillibrand on every aspect of the next steps on our journeys to net zero, as well as the opportunity to take part in the facilitated discussions to share ideas and compare notes on the topic.
