3 ways to reduce event waste
A discussion on the event industry’s circular economy shift gives planner’s three tangible actions to reduce their event waste.
At Emc3’s ‘Events as a Force for Good’, industry leaders gathered to discuss what planners can do to make their events contribute to a circular economy.
