NEW ACTION FOCUSED SUSTAINABLE EVENTS SUMMIT AT THE SHOWMAN’S SHOW 2022 Vision: 2025, a growing network of more than 500 outdoor events and businesses taking climate action, will be presenting a new action-focused conference format for the outdoor events industry when the Sustainable Events Summit 2022 heads to The Showman’s Show, Newbury Showground, on Wednesday, October 19th. With a programme centred around the latest research tools and knowledge, it will bring event organisers, academics, local authorities, and experts together and drive debate, resource development, collaborative industry standards, best practice and innovation. Event Director Jeremy Lance said: “Vision:2025’s conference has become a key component in the industry’s response to climate change and we’re thrilled that The Showman’s Show has become its regular home and plays its part in facilitating the conversation.” The Green & Innovation award will also return. Designed to highlight suppliers who are making a special effort towards environmentally-sustainable practices, products and services, the three companies who make the shortlist will pitch to the event’s delegates and the overall winner will be decided by public vote. The award is open to every company exhibiting at The Showman’s Show and is free to enter. Next Edition...
