Collaboration Across the Electronics Lifecycle

Join us for four transformative days of learning, sharing, and collaboration. Whether you're focused on reuse, repair, manufacturing, retail, or regulation, you'll gain actionable insights and build strategic relationships that drive electronics sustainability forward.

The eSummit: not your typical industry conference

A panel discussion at a conference with four speakers on stage, audience seated facing the stage, large screens displaying presentation slides, and a blue curtain backdrop.

The eSummit breaks the mold of single-channel industry conferences by uniting all stakeholders across the electronics lifecycle in one transformative event.

Why? Because achieving true electronics sustainability requires better decisions at every step, from everyone involved.

Our full lifecycle programming spans design, returns, repair, ITAD, reuse, recycling and beyond. Product designers collaborate with procurement teams. Refurbishers engage with corporate sustainability leaders. Regulators workshop with recyclers. From IT equipment and mobile devices to data centers and solar panels, we create spaces where diverse perspectives converge to drive circular, sustainable outcomes.

The path to electronics sustainability demands new thinking and interconnected solutions. At the eSummit, we explore the critical decision points that shape our industry's future, sharing innovative initiatives and forging the partnerships needed to transform how we make, use, reuse, and recycle electronics.

First Use Phase

How can we extend the life of our electronics during first use? We’ll explore design for longer use, repairability, durability, software updates, tech support, upgradeability, and returns. You’ll hear from OEMs, repair professionals, service providers, and policy experts on initiatives that extend the useful life of electronics. 

Reuse Phase

Just because you are done with it doesn’t mean it’s end-of-life. There are many opportunities for the reuse of electronics throughout the world. Speakers will share the many ways electronics are given second and third lives. From social good programs to OEM warranties on used electronics to Sustainable ITAD and various remarketing channels, we’ll be discussing all the many opportunities for reuse.  

Recycling Phase

Recovering 100% of the materials from electronics is needed to become circular, but there are real-world challenges to reaching this utopia, like market dynamics, barriers to trade, capacity limitations, a patchwork of global regulations, and unscrupulous competitors. The eSummit works to share all the good progress, innovations, and market developments our industry is making while addressing the challenges to reaching sustainability across every stakeholder group.
