Hub for Sustainability Integration Conference 2026
From Ideas to Impact: Accelerating Sustainability
Where sustainability research meets real-world application.
Through timely research, applied insights, and cross-sector dialogue, the Hub for Sustainability Integration works to bridge the gap between sustainability theory and practice. Designed for educators, professionals, and decision-makers, this conference equips attendees with practical perspectives, evidence-based tools and meaningful connections to support the integration of sustainability into the core of their organizations and institutions.
Whether you are shaping policy, teaching future leaders, or translating sustainability commitments into action, we invite you to join a growing community that is committed to building a more resilient and responsible future.

“Sustainability challenges don’t exist in isolation. But, too often, our knowledge does. The Hub exists to change that. We connect the researchers, companies, municipalities, and students who are already doing this work. Because ideas need collaboration.”
— Adam Vitalis
Director, Hub for Sustainability Integration

“Sustainability solutions don’t come from a lack of ideas — they come from a lack of connection. When the right people come together, momentum builds — and this conference is designed to carry that momentum into implementation.”
— Claire Purvis
Associate Director, Hub for Sustainability Integration
The Hub for Sustainability Integration Conference is hosted by the Hub for Sustainability Integration—an innovative partnership between the School of Accounting and Finance and the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development (SEED) at the University of Waterloo.
