It runs a single stage from 9 to 19 November with a full published programme of 53 sessions, organised around theme days. Wednesday 11 November is its Zero Waste day, covering circularity as a climate strategy and city-business collaboration on industrial decarbonisation. All times are published in Istanbul time (GMT+3), the same as Antalya.
