Scheduled for November 1 – 3, 2023, Anthropy23 will once again take place at the home of the iconic Biomes, this time uniting twice the number of leaders in its quest to inspire positive, sustainable and successful change for the country.

Anthropy Founder John O’Brien MBE said: “Anthropy22 was a huge success, in no small part due to the support from partners such as the Eden Project. We saw leaders and innovators from across the country and from a variety of industries come together, leaving their silos and egos at the door, to fulfil the common goal – a brighter future for this country and long-term thinking.
“This year, we continue our work to answer four key questions. What is the quality of life we want in the UK for the next thirty years? What qualities of place and planet do we need to achieve that quality of life? What are the qualities of a ‘good economy’? What qualities do we express to the world to help solve shared issues?”
Eden Project CEO, Rob Chatwin, said: "We are delighted Anthropy is coming back to the Eden Project for its second year following the successful and truly inspiring Anthropy22. We are very excited to host an expanded gathering of leaders and influential changemakers at Anthropy23 showing real commitment to positive change which is at the heart of the Eden mission. Together, we will delve into pressing issues, envision a brighter future, and foster collaborative solutions for a more equitable and sustainable nation."
