Our Commitment to Event Sustainability

As event organisers, we believe we have a responsibility to work with our markets and create opportunities that lead to positive environmental, social and economic outcomes.

Shaping a Sustainable Future

We know sustainability is increasingly important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our market as a whole.

Running an event gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impacts environmentally, socially and economically in our host city. We want to make our event more responsible and play a role in helping our markets improve its own sustainability through connecting people with the networks and knowledge they want to help solve the big challenges in our sector.

We believe that by focusing on the issues where we are well positioned to make a positive impact, we have a great opportunity to play a role in enabling both our market and wider industry in becoming more sustainable.
