The eSummit 2025, organized by SERI, is set to take place from September 8-11 at the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot, featuring a comprehensive agenda aimed at accelerating the transition to a circular economy for electronics. The event will bring together executives and innovators from leading technology companies, recyclers, policymakers, and sustainability advocates for a series of sessions designed to foster meaningful collaboration and innovation.
Confirmed speakers include notable figures such as Spencer Hahn from Amazon, Brian Comiskey from the Consumer Technology Association, and Linda Demmler from IBM, among others. Corey Dehmey, CEO of SERI, emphasized the importance of the summit by stating, "From product designers to recyclers, repair technicians to policymakers, these unexpected connections are where real innovation happens."
The summit's agenda is structured around four key days, each focusing on different aspects of electronics sustainability. Pre-Summit Activities on Monday offer behind-the-scenes insights and networking opportunities. Tuesday's Expo+ Day addresses operational challenges with sessions on battery safety and data sanitization. Wednesday's Fast Forward Day shifts to strategic vision, featuring discussions on the future of technology and circular economy strategies. Thursday's Forward Together Day introduces a workshop format for tackling lifecycle-specific challenges through multistakeholder collaboration.
Dehmey highlighted the dual focus of the agenda, stating, "What excites me most about this year's agenda is how it bridges immediate operational needs with long-term strategic vision." The eSummit 2025 represents a critical platform for stakeholders across the electronics lifecycle to collaborate on sustainable solutions, with registration now open for those interested in participating in this transformative event.
