Upcoming Workshop on Sustainable Event Practices

I’m excited to share that there’s a workshop coming up next month focused on sustainable event planning! It’s a great opportunity to learn about eco-friendly practices that we can incorporate into our events. I’m looking forward to hearing from experts in the field and would love to know if anyone else is planning to attend. Let’s maximize our impact while minimizing waste.

I once worked an event where we implemented a digital check-in system instead of paper tickets — saved us a ton of waste! If you’re considering any similar tech solutions, I’d recommend looking into options that also enhance the attendee experience. What tech have you thought about using?

I love the idea of prioritizing eco-friendly practices! At our last event, we used local vendors to cut down on transportation emissions, which also supported the community. It was a win-win.

That sounds like a fantastic workshop! I’ve found that opting for plant-based catering can really cut down on waste and it’s often healthier, too. Plus, it creates a conversation around sustainability. @lramirez, have you considered this approach for your events?
