Tickets are now available for POC Conference 2026, including a 10% Early Bird discount if purchased before the end of February.

After the Products of Change Conference saw its biggest year yet in 2025, with record-breaking attendance from an increasing number of countries, and an unmatched speaker line-up, the POC Conference is returning to the Royal Geographical Society, London, on 11 November 2026. Get your tickets here.

The changes that Products of Change is facilitating – and that the POC Conference continues to inspire – do not come from policy alone, but from the people and movers within industry that are making change happen.

The POC Conference is an opportunity for those movers, innovators, changemakers, and those with the drive to transition our industry to a better, more equitable and sustainable system, to come together, share learnings, and be inspired.

Together, at the 2025 POC Conference, the community brought the conversation out of theory and into practice – with more real-world case studies, practical “how-to” examples, breakthrough innovations, and a broader global reach than ever before. Guest speakers included the likes of the United Nations, IKEA, the LEGO Group, Smol, Open Planet, Tesco, and Mintel. What we saw in the room was not just intent, but action.

As we set the stage for the 2026 POC Conference, we’re building on that momentum – and raising the bar.

Helena Mansell-Stopher, founder and CEO of Products of Change, comments: “2025 felt like a real moment of change for the Products of Change Conference. The level of support from our speakers and attendees grew significantly, and it’s this shared momentum that I’m most excited to carry forward and build on again in 2026.”

The 2026 Conference will shine a spotlight on the businesses, brands and retailers who are stepping up to the challenge of building new systems for our industry. The Conference will showcase practical, repeatable examples of what’s working – from materials and design, to data, circular models, supply chains and retail execution – and celebrate those already proving that progress at scale is possible.

Lisa Hey, head of product development, Character World Brands, and 2025 Conference attendee, commented: “It’s a unique thing that POC have done – people have always been so protective, but this goes completely across the industry. It’s a really collaborative day, worth taking the time out, it’s just such an inspirational day, coming together to learn from all the case studies and the solutions people have found that you can take on board.”

The core of POC has always been about connection; in 2026, the Conference will continue to bring brand owners, manufacturers, retailers and solution providers together – not just to talk, but to collaborate. Matchmaking opportunities will be expanded across the Conference experience, creating more intentional spaces for partnerships to form, ideas to turn into pilots, and pilots to turn into industry-wide change.

POC Conference 2026 is not about watching change happen: it’s about being part of the group building it.

Early Bird tickets are now for sale, offering a 10% discount to tickets, only until 28 February. POC Members get a further 20% discount off ticket prices. Find out more and purchase your tickets now at www.productsofchange.com/poc-sustainability-conference.
