Sustainable Production Forum
Sustainable Production Forum (SPF) is a global hybrid conference advancing climate leadership across the creative industries. Celebrating 10 years of impact, this year’s theme—“The Ripple Effect”—highlights both the progress made and the urgent work ahead, from decision-makers to the production workforce.
SPF accelerates industry-specific, experiential knowledge sharing through best practices, practical tools, and boundary-pushing immersive programming.
Join us as we bring together innovators and future leaders to catalyze a modern, sustainable mindset across the creative ecosystem.
Rooted in film and television production, SPF serves a growing, diverse audience—producers, executives, department heads (HODs), above- and below-the-line crew, funders, vendors, content creators, and sustainability experts. As the sector evolves, we’re expanding to support professionals in AR/VR, music, sports, live performance and gaming.
The Sustainable Entertainment Society is proud to introduce the Sustainability Practitioners Internship Program (SPIP)—a tuition-free program designed to train, certify, and prepare the next generation of sustainability leaders in film, television, and digital media. This program equips participants with modern, comprehensive, and integrated approach to sustainability and decarbonization in the screen industries.
