Could this be too advanced or too basic for me?
No. There is a lot of information available on what actions can be carried out when starting out and when further down the road. The event is for all to take a fresh look at how materials are used, how energy is used, how water is used, whether more can be made from wastes, etc. The leaders in this space now justify their investment on improving productivity and quality as well as reducing environment impact.
