Ecosummit Berlin 2020 Agenda
Due to the global COVID-19 crisis our physical Ecosummit Berlin 2020 is postponed from 6-7 May 2020 to a new date in Q4/2020, Q1/2021 … We’ll announce the new date and location of our physical Ecosummit as soon as we know that it is feasible and legal again to run conferences in Berlin and our participants from all over Europe can travel freely to Berlin without going into quarantine. In the meantime, life goes on and Ecosummit goes online. We kindly invite our existing customers, i.e. all Ecosummit 2020 sponsors, speakers and ticket holders, to our online events on Zoom.
