Future sessions
We’re taking a trip into the future and to the Wirral to be part of Wirral Makefest on June 3rd.
For this special Ignite we are going to be looking at the future of the Wirral and how sustainability must play a role within that future. And an opportunity examine the issues that will affect all of our lives over the next 30 years.
Each themed session consisted of three or four short 5 minute presentations from our speakers who then face an audience for a Question and Answer opportunity to dig into the detail.
We’re looking for aspirational talks – what do we need to do and how do we get to there.
