beam and the MIA (Meetings Industry Association) have announced that Stuart Goldsmith, internationally acclaimed climate comedian and speaker, will deliver a keynote at the ESG Summit on 15th September 2025, at Warwick Conferences.
Complementing the summit theme of championing responsible business in events, Goldsmith’s unique blend of sharp wit and powerful insight will address one of the most pressing issues of our time – the climate crisis.
Well known for his intelligent and thought-provoking stand-up, Goldsmith has performed climate comedy on the BBC’s Live at the Apollo, Conan in Los Angeles, and at leading global festivals. His 2023 solo show Spoilers won Best Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2023, received five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and was widely praised for its ability to confront sustainability with humour and hope.
Goldsmith’s work has featured across BBC News, Radio Times, and News UK, and he has appeared at leading sustainability events including the Net Zero Festival, Blue Earth Summit, and GreenBiz in the US. His performances engage audiences and alleviate our collective dread by using comedy to tackle a serious subject.
Louisa Watson, beam Chair, welcomes Goldsmith to the event line-up, commenting: “Stuart’s ability to combine comedy with such a serious and urgent topic offers a brilliantly refreshing way to inspire conversations and action. His voice will help lift the tone for a summit dedicated to shaping a more sustainable and responsible future for the events industry.”
Alongside Goldsmith’s keynote, the collaborative ESG Summit 2025 will feature content curated in partnership with isla, Greengage, event:decision, Circular Life, and Scopes Carbon. The programme features panel discussions, interactive breakout sessions, and best practice case studies designed to accelerate the industry’s progress towards embedding ESG as a core business strategy.
