Future sessions
We’re taking a trip into the future at Ignite to look at 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 faced the audience for a Question and Answer opportunity to dig into the detail.
Venue:
Hornby Room, Central Library, William Brown Street, Liverpool, L3
Date
Saturday 2nd July 12-5pm
On the 2nd of July, Ignite Liverpool will be taking place at Liverpool Central Library as part of Liverpool Makefest.
To discuss the topic ‘Liverpool 2050: how can we build a resilient city – one that is thriving, fair and sustainable?‘
As part of this we are looking for makers, doers, innovators, enthusiasts and helpers to share ideas, plans and projects on the following areas:
Transport
Transport is the second-largest contributor to carbon emissions in Liverpool. So what does travel look like in 2050? Is it hydrogen and electric, or pedal and public powered?
Food
We’ve experienced a number of shocks over recent years that show we don’t have food security in the UK – does resilience lie with our food co-ops, growers, allotmenteers, faith groups, foodbanks and zero-waste communities?
Energy
Similarly, we know the UK does not have energy security, or a particularly comprehensive plan to decarbonise and future-proof the system – so how are big public projects, local energy communities and individuals combining efforts here?
Homes and communities
Our homes are the places we’re supposed to feel safe – but many are trapped with high rent, high bills and more – where are the communities in the city bold enough to reimagine the place we call home?
Confirmed speakers so far….

2pm Transport
Ed Gommon @edthegommon
Modal shift to active travel
Elke Weissmann @TellyElk
Why Active Travel is the Solution (to More than One Problem)
Andi Armitage
This isn’t The Netherlands’
3pm Homes and Communities
Eric Masaba
In order to make housing mire accessible, we need to make money into the servant of humanity and not its master. As someone who has worked in “high finance” I appreciate and understand certain operations. Rent2Own is a fantastic way to return money to its debt free and utility status, while getting people into affordable, high quality housing.
