One of the biggest sustainability challenges in events?

Trying to improve impact without measuring it.

👉 Start by tracking a few key areas consistently — such as waste, energy, travel or supplier practices.

Many #EventProfs are already running #SustainableEvents.

The challenge is how to credibly share these results.

That’s where EGF Certification comes in.

One common mistake after an event?

Moving straight on without reflecting on what worked.

👉 Share your sustainability wins — even the small ones.

Celebrating progress helps build buy-in and momentum for future improvements.

Most event signage is used once — then discarded.

Design for reuse instead:
♻️ Modular
♻️ Timeless
♻️ Non-date-specific

Less waste. More value.

Your event is only as sustainable as your suppliers.

From venues to stand builders, your supply chain defines your impact.

Choose wisely.
