Sustainable Events Summit
The Sustainable Events Summit 2009 has now launched.
The Summit takes place on Friday 22 May at One Wimpole Street, London. With sustainability currently a huge issue in the events industry, and organisers eager to learn best practice and implement sustainable measures, this is a timely moment for the summit to take place. The aim of the day is to provide delegates with 50 practical actions which they can take back to their organisations. The summit will be chaired by Lucy Siegle, ethical living columnist at the Observer and BBC One Show presenter. Lucy will be ensuring that the event is dynamic, inspirational and encourages practical action.
Delegates at this event will comprise heads of events / event directors across a variety of business sectors; event media and suppliers to the industry. We are targeting around 250 delegates to maximise the value of the day for all attendees.
The Summit will provide an informative day for delegates. We aim to include interactive sessions to add variety and incorporate future technologies. Speakers confirmed so far include:
David Stubbs, Head of Sustainability, LOCOG;
Anne Hayes, Head of Market Development – Sustainability, BSI;
Neil Grange, Sustainable Event Management Consultant, Arup;
Alison Tickell, Director, Julie’s Bicycle.
Other participants include representatives from Wembley Stadium, The Guardian, The Ryder Cup and Virgin Trains.
Last year’s Summit had 200 attendees and once again we want as many attendees as possible to share their experiences and commit to practical action to make the events industry more sustainable. Early Bird tickets are available now at a reduced cost.
