Science alerts us that to significantly slow down Climate Change we have to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and to be neutral by 2050. This requires that the events sector radically rethinks and redesigns our business strategies to not only become more sustainable, but to catalyse other industries while we regenerate our host environments and communities.
This raises the question are we ready to undertake the deep and exponential changes to survive, do we have the leadership capacities that this demands? And perhaps most importantly do we need to speed up the existing industry evolution or start a low carbon revolution?
In this inspiring, interactive and educating session, we will enter into a deep conversation, exploring the pioneering strategies and actions required to transform tomorrows events industry from one disrupted by a climate emergency to a sector that creates a prosperous future for all.
The session is designed to unlock the collective intelligence of the audience through a series of short Firestarter speeches from sustainability leaders from destinations, venues and clients, followed by a moderated debate and knowledge interchange between all participants.

1) Over the past 5 years, 42 companies worked together through IGD's ECR group to eliminate 260,000 tonnes of product and packaging waste from the UK supply chain, exceeding their original target of 200,000 tonnes.
2) The initiative focused on preventing waste at source rather than recycling, recovering or disposing of waste. Companies collaborated and shared hundreds of changes like improving forecasts, redesigning packaging, and redistributing surpluses to reduce waste.
3) Measuring the different types of changes allowed the group to identify the most effective solutions and encourage other companies to join, with process changes and redistributing surpluses to animals having the biggest impact on waste reduction.

Handprinting refers to quantifying the positive consequence of a company or organization, its products or services and how it relates with all its stakeholders. The goal for an organization that engages in measuring its handprint isn't simply to minimize its negative impact, but to maximize its positive influence while enhancing operational efficiency and profitability, and to pursue net-positive sustainability in which its handprint exceeds its footprint. Join this session for a crash course on reimagining how a brand measures the success of its sustainability initiatives.
