SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITS

It’s a complex world. Cities are where the complexity converges. Ecocity 2019 offers a tremendous opportunity to market to an international audience of urban stakeholders who are eagerly looking to develop cities in balance with the natural world.

Ecocity World Summit is the longest running international summit on sustainable cities. It is the event where thought leaders and political leaders, innovators, practitioners, and industry come together to tackle complex problems of cities, share knowledge, compare experiences, and plan for the future. Over 1,000 innovators and pioneers, designers and planners, policy makers and administrators, professionals and business people, environmentalists and developers, teachers and students from around the world are expected to attend.

Ecocity 2019’s theme is Socially Just and Ecologically Sustainable Cities. How can cities truly be both socially just and ecologically healthy? There are no easy answers, not even in Vancouver, one of the world’s greenest cities. Yet multiple solutions are emerging with new leadership and new partnerships. Ecocity 2019 is where these breakthroughs and advances will be shared.

Jointly hosted by the City of Vancouver and the British Columbia Institute of Technology, we invite you to join Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart and a host of local, regional and global experts converging in Vancouver this October to dial up the dialogue on socially just and ecologically sustainable cities.

Hear the best ideas and latest solutions to urban sustainability challenges from around the globe.
