Venue Edit

On top of cost, capacity, internet connection, and accessibility, you should consider the sustainability status of the event’s chosen venue.

Here are some criteria to support your research:

Prioritize venues with sustainability measures already in place, like:

  • Use of renewable energy.
  • Energy efficiency.
  • Recycling facilities.
  • Sustainable certifications.
  • Active involvement in sustainable causes, like those mentioned in the Inspiration Section.

Other things that give a venue extra points:

  • Well-connected via public transport. Consider using private shuttles at/to a meeting point only when necessary like late-night events.
  • Big enough to host all the events under the same roof. Otherwise, find nearby locations or venues that offer good public transport connections.
  • Ensure wayfinding at the venue includes clear directions to public transport.
  • In-house restaurant service that could manage the catering and reduce waste.
  • A system for refilling water bottles that doesn’t rely on drums.
  • Recycling boxes/stations in all event rooms. Take catering into consideration. If the venue can’t assist with the disposal, recruit volunteers to help clean up. Remember to bring gloves.
