About

The event industry is reliant on global travel to deliver powerful face-to-face events. With new regulations coming into effect and aggressive net-zero targets looming, there are gaps we must close rapidly, and we need collective action toward this, urgently.

Learning outcomes:

Explore the gaps affecting all sectors of the event industry
