Events and festivals are embracing sustainable event management policies but it remains a daunting task to actually implement these policies. As the coordinator for the Greener Festival Awards in North America I am assessing the environmental plans of event and festival organisations. I will look at their environmental policies, waste management plan, transport plan, biodiversity analyses, and outcome of all these plans. Sustainable Event Management is more than just recycling!
In the workshop Sustainable Event Management you will learn what you can do to organise a greener event without it costing you the bank.
What to expect in this workshop
This workshop is divided in 3 sections:
- What is sustainable event management
You will learn the basics of what sustainable development and sustainable event management is.
You will learn what an environmental plan is. The content of this plan will be discussed in this section of the workshop. Among the subjects that will be discussed are:
- Measuring
- Travel & transport
- Water usage
- Electricity and energy usage
- Triple bottom line
Great news that you want to organise a green event but is your audience actually interested in this? In this section I will discuss the results from my research study at Bonnaroo Music Festival and Lightning in a Bottle Festival.
Interviews with event industry experts
Throughout the workshop you will find useful interviews with award winning event and festival professionals. They will provide you with practical advice. What did the festival Lightning in a Bottle do to win the 'Outstanding-Award' for their sustainable efforts? There are interviews with:
- Lightning in a Bottle Festival
- Gentlemen On The Road Festival
- Klean Kanteen (water bottle providers)
- Sol Solutions (solar power at events)
Besides interviews the workshop consist of tutorials, presentations, and reading material.
