About the Event
Sustainability is a very hot topic in all elements of life and no more so than in the world of events.
Where are you at with sustainability? Is it top on your associations' priority list or the last point on a never ending to-do list?
Do you include a sustainability rating in your RFPs for events or is it merely a nice to have? How can event planners and associations design their events to fit in with the UN’s Sustainability Goals for short, medium and long term impact?
All of these questions and more will be explored through a variety of sessions mixing case studies from our community, round table discussions and tips and tricks.
So join us for this event to explore how you can get on board, stay on board and convince your board about sustainability! The event is designed by the ESAE Events Community.
