Side events

Can’t get enough of WCEF? Check the list of side events from 1 to 30 May 2025 and beyond! 

WCEF Side Events present circular economy solutions from around the globe and attract an international audience. They address specific topics related to the circular economy and the role circularity must play in our economies, as well as in the fight against climate change and the biodiversity crisis.

Side events are part of the World Circular Economy Forum concept. Organisers are responsible for all practicalities, expenses and inquiries related to organising and participating in the events. Side events may be organised throughout the year either virtually or locally.

All WCEF Side Events organised from 1 to 30 May 2025 will be listed on this page. Please note that side events cannot overlap with the main programme on the forum days.
