Don't get your tinsel in a tangle this festive season. Come and learn how to harness the Christmas spirit to maximise your individual impact.
Over the past year, The Now Crowd has focused on some major sustainability challenges for our businesses and discovered some exciting opportunities for change. But to round up 2018, we are turning our focus to our own personal lives to discover how we can practise what we preach.
In the current consumer culture, it is easy to get caught up in buying, shopping and eating without realising the impact this has. We truly believe in the power of individuals coming together to create a large collective change. SO, the Now Crowd elves have been working hard to find the best tips, tricks and treats for you so that you can be merry and mindful this summer.
Join us for our final sprint of the year: The Power of One. Kicking off our sprint with an exciting Expert Event, we have a diverse range of speakers to talk about their experiences, challenges and areas of focus.
