Circular Tech Expo is pleased to announce Softcat and Lenovo as co-sponsors of its VIP Lounge for 2026, named the Softcat & Lenovo Sustainability Lounge. The event takes place on 13–14 October 2026 at Farnborough International, bringing together stakeholders from across the technology lifecycle.

Procurement, IT and sustainability leaders will join these specialists to explore practical approaches to extending asset life, protecting data, retaining value and reducing waste.

Their co-sponsorship brings two prominent technology businesses to a dedicated networking setting within an event focused on the future of the technology lifecycle.
