Well before the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at an event called COP21, the events industry has played a major role in connecting global leaders to tackle the climate crisis. But the industry itself is a huge source of carbon emissions.
Emissions from catering, powering, temperature control and travel (the worst contributor of them all) can add up quickly. Even small, international events can have a footprint equal to thousands of car journeys – which is why virtual experiences could be your eco-friendly option.
Who knew event organizers were a company’s greatest climate champions?
Performers, speakers and delegates are now concerned about the environmental impact of the events they participate in, but the increasing number of pledges for Net Zero Carbon Events demonstrates how organizers, venues, exhibitors and suppliers are working to minimize this impact.
And it isn’t just about good business practice – companies can seriously save on costs here. Back when Microsoft eliminated plastic water bottles at their events, it resulted in $600,000 in savings!
So are you ready to make your events carbon neutral? This checklist has been designed to help you:
- Measure carbon emissions generated by your event
- Plan an event that reduces carbon emissions
- Offset the remaining emissions (or part of your event)

Hosting a hybrid format summer team social or party, provides the perfect solution for those looking to maximise inclusivity in a hybrid working landscape.
The obvious first question, what is a hybrid experience?
A hybrid experience is an experience that both in-person and virtual attendees can take part in, making it the perfect solution to keep your summer socials inclusive for all of your team! Hybrid experiences combine the benefits of both in-person & virtual experiences.
You’ll be able to have colleagues interact and share memories back in the office as well as keeping engagement high for those members working remotely. All of our hybrid experiences are designed for inclusivity and interaction and our hosts will ensure that there is equal participation between those in-person and the virtual participants.
A hybrid summer social or party is perfect for companies who have moved or are planning on moving to a hybrid working model as they prevent the ‘us vs them’ attitude between those who are working remotely and those in the office. Our hybrid events create a dynamic atmosphere that includes all participants, whether you’re enjoying a cocktail masterclass or an interactive magic show. You can learn more about hybrid experiences and how they work here.
We’ve hand-picked experiences which are tried and tested, especially for the hybrid format, ensuring all your attendees will have an amazing time.
