The last few years have been a shifting time for events and sustainability.
The word sustainability is being used less, on the one hand for good reasons (we know the actions we need to take to live a life that works for the climate and our communities so it makes more sense to name those actions, rather than use a broad term) and on the other hand for terrible reasons (I like to think of this period a ‘the last hoorah of the ruling white man’ as a way to make sense of how quickly concepts like equality and environmental responsibility have been swept aside).
Events are having a moment of attention as a attractive economic business model, ‘everyone wants face to face in the world of AI' is a well heard phrase amongst event professionals right now.
Today the British Prime Minister will return to work following a 2 day absence after his father’s death. Around the world millions of others will do exactly the same- return to work less than 48 hours after a traumatic and life changing experience.
The current state of the world has left me in an unusual state …quiet.
I’m constantly thinking maybe if I posted a blog series on developing a purpose lead business or shared more stories on innovation to transform a sector that would help.
