FOUNDING PARTNERS

WELCOME

The Sustainable Events Summit exists to support a community which inspires the continuous development of a global sustainable event industry.

This community of sustainability and event industry professionals need opportunities to engage and create solutions.

The pinnacle of the community engagement are the live Summits - the first Sustainable Events Summit was in London on 24th January 2013 at The Crystal.

We hope you join the community today and look forward to seeing you at the next Summit!

To celebrate this support from the Mayor Of London, extra time has been given up to the event to use the early bird offer and SES001 code for a 20% discount on tickets!

BORIS JOHNSON, MAYOR OF LONDON:
"We are delighted to support the Sustainable Events Summit in its mission to share knowledge and learning from global brands and leaders from the events industry with the wider live marketing and communication sectors. The event will build on the legacy of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to showcase best practice and provide knowledge and expertise to the UK event industry.

I wish you a successful summit and look forward to hearing about the resulting actions and outcomes for a more sustainable industry."

Hugh Robertson, Minister for Sport and Tourism:
"Delivering a sustainable London 2012 Games was a key priority right from the outset and they have been hailed as the greenest ever Games by the Independent Commission for a Sustainable London 2012. The Sustainable Events Summit will be a chance for a wide range of global brands to come together, share knowledge and best practice and make sure that sustainability continues to be an integral part of staging future events."

Lord Deighton, Commercial Secretary to HM Treasury
"London 2012 showed there is a real appetite for sustainability to form a key part of the planning process for all types of events. In order to maximize this opportunity, brands and event planners need to come together and discuss best practice. This is why I'm delighted to show my support for the Sustainable Events Summit. London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games catalysed the creation of an international standard ISO 20121 which is changing the way events are planned around the world. We have proved beyond doubt that we can achieve great things when we come together and act as one. If an Olympic legacy proves to be the blueprint for a more sustainable events industry, then we will have achieved something great." 
Shaun McCarthy – Chair of the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012
"A gathering of the event industry at the Sustainable Events Summit community to discuss, discover and learn about the topic of sustainability is critical in light of the momentous past year the UK event industry has experienced"
