Lightning Talks
3 - 4 November 2026
Lausanne Ballroom II, 7th Floor, Swissôtel
Designed to complement the RT mainstage programme, the Lightning Talks return this year with a renewed focus on practical impact, technical innovation and collaborative progress under the theme ‘Snapshots of Innovation & Success’.
Running alongside the mainstage discussions, these 20-minute sessions offer attendees a closer look at how sustainable palm oil commitments are being put into practice. This year’s expanded lineup features the RSPO Secretariat and RSPO Members, who will share case studies, emerging technologies and proven strategies from across the palm oil sector.
Join us for concise, high-value insights designed to inspire action and foster cross-sector learning. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis
