Did you know that almost 75% of corporate event organisers are prioritising sustainability over any other initiative in 2022? (source: IBTM Trend Watch Report for 2022)

The business events sector was one of the hardest hit during the pandemic, and now as we emerge it’s clear that the landscape looks a little different. Business event planners are increasingly looking for hybrid options that will allow their event to reach a wider audience, and their clients want to ensure that they leave a minimal carbon footprint. So, what does this mean for the business events industry?

Visit Herts are hosting a series of online workshops in partnership with Hertfordshire LEP, to support business events venues and suppliers as they build back their business. These interactive workshops will provide practical tips and advice for you to takeaway. Read on for more details about our Sustainable Events Workshop.

In partnership with sustainable event agency, reWARD Events, we at Visit Herts are hosting a sustainable event workshop to equip businesses across the county with the skills, expertise, and confidence they need to take steps towards achieving their net zero goals on the road to a more sustainable future.

During this session we will also be joined by Managing Director of the Exclusive Collection, Danny Pecorelli. Exclusive Collection have recently become the first hotel group in the UK to become an accredited B Corp, leading the way in sustainability for the hospitality sector. This is a great opportunity to hear first-hand, from a hotel group with a hotel located within the county on how you can incorporate sustainability into your organisation and when hosting events.

The workshop will be a 2 hour session and cover all you need to know about hosting sustainable events, such as, what does it mean? Why should you care? How can it benefit your business? We will go through a best practice sustainable events guide, explore a sustainable venue case study to see how it works in the real world and leave you with actionable takeaways to put into practice for your own events.

If you have any questions about this event, please contact holly.loftus@visitherts.co.uk.

We look forward to seeing you then!
