Sustainable Events: From Planning to Positive Impact

Every event has an impact. The opportunity is to make that impact a positive one. In this practical webinar, ACTS CEO Rhiannon Boyd and Sustainable Events Ambassador Raveena Grace explore how event organisers can embed sustainability from the very beginning of the planning process, without needing to be sustainability experts. Designed as an accessible introduction to sustainable event practice, the session covers the key areas every organiser should be thinking about, including: Diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility Cultural acknowledgement and engagement Sustainable food and catering Preventing waste and supporting reuse Venue selection Reducing event emissions Sustainable styling, branding and giveaways Working with sponsors and suppliers Education, communication and participant engagement Measuring, learning from and improving your events You'll also see practical examples from ACTS events and learn about the ACTS Sustainable Event Certification, a framework designed to help organisers reduce environmental and social impacts while maintaining event quality, accessibility and a positive participant experience. Most importantly, you don't need to wait until you're ready for certification to get started. ACTS has developed free practical resources, including a Sustainable Events Checklist and supplier communication templates, to help you start making better event decisions today.
