Ecocity World Summit Postponed to 2022

The Ecocity World Summit leadership has made the difficult decision to convert the Onsite and Online Ecocity 2021 World Summit to a fully virtual conference. Based on careful monitoring of conditions in The Netherlands, the neighboring countries of our participants, and in discussions with local health authorities, we have concluded that COVID-19 infections are not likely to abate before the conference’s original dates.
It is out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of our participants, speakers, exhibitors and staff that we have reached the difficult decision to transition the conference to a fully virtual Summit on the new dates of 22nd – 24th of February 2022.
