The Apurva Kempinski Bali will host Path to Sustainable Growth 2026 on 24 June 2026, carrying the theme “Regenerate for the Future.” The one-day summit expands beyond tourism, encouraging sustainable action across hospitality, finance, agriculture, education, and the creative economy.
Building on the success of the 2025 edition, which welcomed more than 250 professionals, the summit introduces four pillars: Repurposing, Refreshing Lives, Regenerating, and Rethinking Resources. Industry leaders, innovators, students, and sustainability advocates will gather to exchange ideas and inspire long-term collaboration.
