Advisory Board

Base London's influential and active advisory board includes representatives from the key public and private sector organisations that have an interest in London's low-carbon development. The board meets four times in each event cycle and is key not only to our aim of producing topical, authoritative and inspiring content, but also that the event acts as a catalyst for London's low-carbon transformation.
