Sustainable Events - Why We Still Need to Talk About

ITB Panel Discussion: MICE

The very existence of the events industry is under threat and help is necessary. At the same time the parallel corona and climate crises make it clear that business-as-usual is not an option. Two things are required in order to secure the existence of the industry: firms and self-employed events professionals must be protected – as the #AlarmstufeRot alliance has demanded from the federal government – plus government funds must be available to enable the industry to become fully sustainable and climate neutral by 2030 at the latest. Therefore the keyplayers of the market called for an immediate tailor-made stimulus package to create a sustainable events industry. Listen to Katharina Reuter (Bundesverband Unternehmensgrün e.V.), Stefan Lohmann (Live Entertainment Expert), Jürgen May (2bdifferent), Bernd Fritzges (VDVO) and Doreen Biskup (VDVO) when they talk about the goals of this call to action.
