AUDE's 4th annual Big Conversation event took place at the University of Hull on 7 February. Sponsored by ENGIE we were pleased to welcome over 100 delegates to hear two great panels of speakers, led by Sir Jonathon Porritt and Dr Paul Greatrix, considering the power of the university estate on student experience, and the challenge of reaching net zero carbon. Our report aims to give a flavour of the discussions for those who weren't able to join us, and a reminder for those who did. Thankyou to everyone who made the day such a success - delegates, speakers and exhibitors, and to all the staff at Hull for their warm welcome.
