Introduction

With sustainability a top priority for all businesses and with imminent legislative reporting on the horizon, considering the environmental, social and economic impact of the events we organise is becoming a critical part of delivering live events. In a typically wasteful industry, it is imperative that we minimise our impact to drive positive change for a more sustainable future. But where do we start? What is sustainability, why is it important and how do we deliver sustainable events? 

What is the course about?

This course helps experienced event managers learn the foundations of sustainability, how to apply sustainable practices to event delivery, how to measure the impact of an event, how to review performance to continually improve and inform best practice and more. The course provides tangible insights, comprehensive knowledge and practical applications; enabling event managers to deliver successful events, sustainably.
