We cordially invite you to join the seventh Knowledge Primer (KP) titled “Enabling the Ecosystem for Resource Circularity in the MICE Industry” under the “Partnership for Sustainability Leadership in Business” (#PSLB) project, initiated by the Centre for Civil Society and Governance (CCSG), HKU with full support from The Hongkong Bank Foundation. Hong Kong is a bustling city that hosts a wide range of business events and exhibitions throughout the year. While they provide valuable market information, knowledge, networks and opportunities for professionals from businesses, government, and the non-profit sector, the cost of organising these events often comes at the expense of the environment, which contravenes the ideals of low-carbon and #sustainable future that many #businesses uphold. Therefore, it is imperative to transform the traditional ‘linear’ nature of these events into a ‘#circular’ and more sustainable model. Leveraging the knowledge and practical experience of speakers from the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) industry, this Knowledge Primer will take a close look into the necessary conditions–be they infrastructure, policy change, industry support or innovative collaboration models–for resource circularity to take root in business events. Two keynote speakers will shed lights on the following topics: 1) Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) will discuss the role of Government policy, infrastructures and capacity building in guiding the trajectory of circularity and sustainability advancement in MICE industry; 2) Macau Fair & Trade Association will present on sustainable initiatives that incentivise the practitioners to adopt more circular and sustainable practices in order to achieve net zero goals. A moderated discussion featuring industry practitioners from Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (Management) Limited, Informa Markets, KPMG, New World Corporate Services Limited and ReThink HK will follow to cascade the industry’s best practices. The panellists will share views on the collaboration needed to catalyse circularity practices and innovation in the MICE industry. The event will also celebrate the launch of “A Practical Guidebook to Circular Economy (Volume 2): Collaborating with Value Chain Partners for Organising Circular Events and Exhibitions”. The Guidebook is a consolidated self-learning resource for the MICE industry practitioners to integrate resource circularity principles in the business operation through the value chain-based event frameworks. A well-thought step-by-step guidance and templates are made available to help readers putting ideas into action. The event details are as follows: Date: 6 June 2024 (Thursday) Time: 2:30pm – 5:30pm (4:30pm – 5:30 will be the networking session) Venue: Rayson Huang Theatre, The University of Hong Kong Event Registration: https://lnkd.in/gkYmekWU #HSBC #HBF

Do you love events, and also… love the planet? Well good news my friends, as registration for THE FIRST EVER Event Sustainability Live is now open! 💃🏼🍃 The inaugural Event Sustainability Live (or ESL) will take place at ExCeL London on the 15th & 16th of November this year. Organised by the team behind its sister exhibition, Event Tech Live, ESL aims to help event professionals to reach their sustainability goals. And cor, don’t we have some goals. To give you an idea of what to expect, the ESL show floor will deliver the latest trends, innovations, and products from companies and venues providing eco-conscious solutions developed to make events more sustainable. Partnering with leading industry associations to curate an informative conference that will cover up-to-date topics and themes with a focus on sustainability, it’s set to make its mark as a must-attend educational event. Visitors are encouraged to register early and plan their journey in advance, making the most sustainable choices possible (ofc). Who wants to join me in travelling to the ExCeL as part of a human conga? Event Sustainability Live Co-Founder, Adam Parry - EWD comments: “Sustainability is a huge topic in the events industry and should be at the forefront of all organisers minds. Ultimately that’s why we launched ESL – we want to get better and we know that other organisers want to get better too. “We’re certainly not the authority on the subject, nor do we proclaim to be, but with the help of industry bodies and experts such as isla, Vision2025, AGF and other partners we’re learning more every day and our audience will too.” See you all there 🥰 #eventprofs #sustainability #meetingsandevents

Sustainability Takes Center Stage in the Event Industry The event industry is experiencing a transformative shift, and sustainability is stepping into the spotlight like never before. Here's why sustainability matters in the event world: - Environmental Responsibility: Sustainable events minimize environmental impact. From reducing waste to energy-efficient practices, event planners are committed to protecting our planet. - Community Engagement: Sustainable events often involve local communities. By sourcing locally, supporting small businesses, and giving back, events become a force for good. - Economic Benefits: Sustainability isn't just about eco-friendliness; it's smart economics. Efficient resource use and sustainable practices can lead to cost savings. - Attendee Expectations: Today's attendees are eco-conscious. They appreciate events that share their values, making sustainability a selling point. - Innovation & Inspiration: Sustainable events challenge the industry to innovate.
