Was sind einige der Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen, die Eventmanager benötigen, um Nachhaltigkeitspraktiken umzusetzen?

While working with various events and conferences i always try to do some eco-friendly initiatives be it paperless , solar lights , no plastic zone etc What we can do is :- > Identify and partner with vendors committed to eco-friendly products and practices. > The environment and your wallet will both benefit from conservation and waste reduction efforts, which frequently result in cost savings. > Engage in community programs > Track and assess how our events are affecting the ecosystem etc Let's organize activities that benefit the environment. When we work together, we can smoothly incorporate green practices into every aspect of the event, from planning to execution, making it a shining example of environmental awareness.

Event managers implementing sustainability practices must define clear goals: reducing printing, minimizing food waste, or cutting down on plastic. Understanding venue practices is crucial: identifying compostable materials, on-site gardens, or local sustainability initiatives. Aligning with city goals ensures contribution to broader environmental objectives. Effective communication with attendees about sustainability efforts encourages support and participation. Integrating these strategies promotes sustainability within events and broader communities.

It must start with the event planners company. If the event planners company has sustainability policies in place that are being practiced everyday then it will be easier to put the same plan into place at their events. It will also help the employees understand the why and will be able to better convince their clients on how important these measures are and how easy they're to implement at their event.

Don’t forget that your venue/facility is another important stakeholder in your providing an event sustainability platform. Check what sustainability programs are already in place at your facility/venue (e.g. recycling plastic, aluminum, carpet). They can also assist you in community outreach… and, ultimately realizing your specific show sustainability plan.

Outlining the benefits and impacts of sustainability to stakeholders, business owners and informing the collaborative team of the importance has a huge impact on creating smart and knowledgeable decisions putting forth a well rounded and future thinking event,plus being able yo incorporate it into the attendee experience and content is full circle planning.

Consider what in your event communication strategy can be replaced with "evergreen" or digital alternatives. Can that invitation be digital (or printed on paper that can be composted/planted)? Do you REALLY need table centerpieces, and if so, can those be something that can become something else (toys that are donated to charity? A local artist's work that is auctioned off?) Do you really need a sign that is themed to the event, or can it be a projection, or chalk, or a light gobo, or something you will use again and again? Can you donate that banner to a local school or art club after the meeting? Can you replace that program with a QR code? Can you offer recycling & compost bins next to the trashcans?

Na minha experiência com eventos corporativos, entendo que ainda estamos engatinhando com este aspecto no Brasil. Então, nem sempre encontraremos fornecedores já preparados no quesito sustentabilidade e por isso, precisamos encontrar ações adequadas, como: Buscando fornecedores locais (na cidade onde o evento ocorrerá), valorizando a cultura da região (trazendo como atrações para o evento e brindes artesanais, por exemplo) ou colaborando com instituições da cidade, estaremos trazendo a sustentabilidade em sua essência para o evento.
