The showcase event was held for the first time ahead of the London E-Prix double-header last year and will once again take place before this season’s finale on Friday, 28 July, at ExCeL London.
'Change. Accelerated. Live.' is set to bring the brightest minds together from various sectors and industries including motorsport, politics and education, all of which will offer a unique insight into pioneering sustainable innovations.
“It’s very much a leadership, knowledge-sharing platform for the Formula E ecosystem but also, I would say, very much going above and beyond the three key topics that are technology, innovation and sustainability,” said Julia Palle, Formula E’s sustainability director.
“Last year we hosted over 250 guests, it was very much the first time that we were piloting our own conferencing platform. It was obviously very successful, we had very positive feedback from the attendees and certainly the fact we’re back this year is also testifying that there was an appetite for it to be back again with a revised approach.”
This revised approach included “mini conferences” throughout the season in new areas including India, South Africa and Brazil – all three locations new to the season nine Formula E calendar.
The 2023 edition of Change. Accelerated. Live. will include guest speakers such as Formula E and Extreme E co-founder, Alejandro Agag, ex-Williams Formula 1 team principal, Claire Williams, and chairman of Motorsport UK, David Richards.
There will also be a presence from three current Formula E teams including Abt Cupra, Maserati and McLaren, while partner Bloomberg will also be directly involved.
