… when events not only run smoothly, but also fair.

When planning a project, time and budget are certainly the most important factors to consider, but no event comes to life without people. The UN’s eighth Sustainable Development Goal calls for creating decent working conditions and promoting inclusive, sustainable economic growth.

One should be passionate about an event, and one will be even more so when feeling comfortable and well looked after at one’s own workplace. Flexible working hours, respectful interactions, and […]

… because events can shine – without wasting energy.

Without energy, nothing works—not even an event. But the UN’s seventh Sustainable Development Goal makes it clear: energy should not only be available, but also sustainable, safe, and affordable.

In the Western world, electricity is often taken for granted. But that’s precisely why it’s important to be aware of where and how energy is consumed. Events require electricity: for lighting, sound, technology, heating, cooling, digital tools, and transportation. This makes the question all […]

… conserve and utilize resources and set clear guidelines

Water is one of the most precious resources we have. The United Nations’ sixth goal is all about access to clean water, sanitation, and sustainable water use. This goal can be incorporated into the event industry in many ways, from catering to restroom use.

When selecting venues, it’s important to consider how responsibly water and hygiene are handled: Is everything germ- and mold-free? Are there water-saving facilities in the restrooms? What cleaning agents […]

… Events can create enough space for everyone

Equality isn’t a special topic; it’s a central component of a just society. The United Nations’ fifth goal focuses primarily on the equal participation of women in social, political, and economic life. But what exactly does this mean for the events industry?

In fact, equality can be implemented in many different ways. Events offer a good opportunity not only to promote equality but also to implement it in a practical way and make it […]

… because events can be much more than just networking opportunities

Education is the key – not only for the personal development, but also for social progress. The fourth goal of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda aims to ensure that everyone has access to high-quality education – regardless of gender, origin, or social status. And event management has more to do with this than you might think.

Because events are places for exchange, learning, and inspiration. Whether it’s a conference, trade fair, […]

…how events not only raise the pulse, but also ensure well-being.

A good event stays in mind—but it should also be good for the body. The third goal of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals is all about health and well-being. Those who plan events are ultimately designing temporary living spaces—and have many opportunities to make them healthier, more fair and enjoyable.

Even during the preparation phases, one should not only ensure smooth process runs but also make sure that the working […]

…help fight hunger worldwide through environmentally friendly events

The second goal on the agenda of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 – “Zero Hunger” – aims to end hunger worldwide, ensure food security, and promote sustainable agriculture. In Germany, too, people are affected by invisible hunger, i.e., a lack of nutrients. At the same time, tons of food are thrown away every day, even at events.

Especially in the event industry, where catering is a central component, one has the opportunity […]

…because events are platforms for change.

The issue of poverty doesn’t just begin with major political decisions – it also manifests itself in structural disadvantage, unequal opportunities, and a lack of access to economic participation. The first goal of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 – “No Poverty” – calls for an end to poverty in all its forms. The vision behind it is to create a world in which all people, regardless of gender, origin, or social […]

The fire is crackling, the atmosphere is relaxed: the perfect setting for fireside chats. An informal and relaxed meeting in a small group on a specific topic is called a fireside chat. The aim is to ensure a personal atmosphere and facilitate a beneficial dialogue. This name was originally derived from the 30 radio speeches given by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt between 1933 and 1944, which ultimately became a source of hope and security for all Americans. […]

…events one should be part of

We already wrote about it… Berlin has big plans for the next twenty years. Of course, they also say: The future begins now! Many exciting, professional, and educational events are regularly offered on the way to a sustainable future, which are definitely worth taking part in! We would like to present a small excerpt from the large year-round offering here today.

An old German folk song says, “the […]
