As individuals, we are increasingly aware of the impact our decisions have on the planet.
Most businesses are aware too, however, new legislation will hold all organisations accountable for the decisions they make and the actions they take.
In the events world, regulation is catching up with companies who run events and meetings. That’s why Northstar Meetings Group has collaborated with industry experts isla to create unique online learning courses for event organisers, one for beginners (The Sustainable Events Course) and one for those looking to further their existing knowledge (The Advanced Sustainable Events Course).
The Sustainable Events Course and The Advanced Sustainable Events Course have 6 modules each, on essential event topics geared to making your events greener. Better still, the modules are on-demand. Watch and learn at a pace suited to you and your work balance.
Over the past 5 years, more than 400 meetings and events professionals like you have completed these courses, equipping themselves and their organisations with a strong framework for event sustainability
