Sustainability is no longer a side note in event planning, it’s becoming a dealbreaker. Both clients and agencies are starting to ask tougher questions, procurement teams are tightening standards, and new regulations are on the horizon. But what do buyers really want from venues when it comes to sustainability?

Join us for a live 60-minute webinar where we’ll break it all down, from what’s being asked now to what’s coming next.

What You’ll Learn

  • The sustainability questions buyers are already asking venues
  • What makes a venue “sustainability ready” in a competitive RFP
  • How regulations like CSRD will reshape expectations, and why now is the time to prepare
  • Real-world tips from agency, venue, and consultancy experts
