  • Summary

  • What do climate change, sustainability, and events have to do with each other?

    A LOT! Two weeks ago in one of my education sessions at IMEX — an events industry convention that has won awards for its sustainability efforts — I was surprised that only 10% of the attendees were currently incorporating sustainability questions in their venue requests for proposal or their events. To boot, a few other sustainability-focused sessions had the same response.

    When I shared this stat with Shawna McKinley, an event sustainability consultant and instructor based in Vancouver, Canada, we decided to chat about how that aligns with the latest research from SKIFT and SITE, how its planners biggest concerns — rising food costs, event disruption and reduced attendance — are actually affected by climate change.

    Join Shawna and I for the next #EatingAtAMeeting LIVE (October 26) to learn ways to incorporate sustainability practices into the overall event planning process, how your food and beverage choices must part of the sustainability equation, and how not to feel feel powerless to act.
