1:10 – 1:30 pm Room 3 Breakout Session: Accessibility All Areas Adrian Bossey of Falmouth University investigates UK live music industry perceptions of current practice regarding accessibility for music festival and event attendees who are Deaf or disabled. This session considers the current state of, and existing best practice in, accessibility at UK music festivals. Firstly, a discussion regarding the potential for ICT to improve accessibility for people who are Deaf or disabled. Additionally, ICT developments enhancing design, marketing, operations and finally, performances. All topic considered and investigated across all phases of music festival delivery.
1:10 – 1:30 pm Room 4 IPM Production Note: Reducing Touring Footprints - A Sustainable Trucking Update Hosted by: Rick Smith, Rule Out Loud Management & Maarten Arkenbout, Pieter Smit Trucking
Making tours carbon-neutral is the latest challenge for a lot of production specialists and suppliers. During this Production Note we will take a look at the green efforts entertainment transport company Pieter Smit have made over the last few years in order to get closer to this goal.
1:40 – 2:25 pm Room 3 Breakout Session: Saving the World Begins at Breakfast (presented by NCASS) Moderator: Mark Laurie (NCASS) Speakers: Javier Rojo (Quantum Waste); Kate Cooper (Birmingham Food Council); Mia Frogner (Øya Festival)
Around a quarter of all GHG’s globally are generated by the food sector, this poses both an opportunity and a significant threat. If we can change our habits, we can have a major impact on climate change. We are fast approaching the point of no return – but is change happening? Saving the world begins at breakfast, based loosely on the book by Jonathan Safran Foer, will look at what decisions are within our power, why we are all responsible for our decisions and bringing about the change we want to see. Discussing the best high impact / low-cost practical changes that should be implemented at your events immediately and what structural problems within the food sector might take time and pressure. We can’t afford to be afraid of bold action.
• Understanding the global issue of food • Understand composting and waste • Reducing packaging and plastics • Working with traders, caterers and suppliers • Amplifying your message
GREEN EVENTS AND INNOVATIONS CONFERENCE 2020 9 Agenda
1:45 – 2:15 pm Room 4 Production Note: The introduction of Martyn’s Law Hosted by: Carl A H Martin, cahm.uk
Martyn’s Law is a proposed piece of legislation, designed to give more protection against terrorism, that is being backed by the UK government. IPM looks at how this affects the production industry and venues.
2:30 – 2:45 pm Room 2 Talk: Slowly Down the Ganges – The Most Polluted River in the World Speaker: Spike Reid (Expedition Leader & WaterAid advocate)
For 98 days Spike travelled steadily down the ‘River of Life’ in India to raise awareness for excess single-use plastic that ends up in the Ganges and then our oceans. He did so by stand-up paddleboard, becoming the first person to ever do so by this means, engaging with numerous WaterAid projects along the way.
2:45 – 3:45 pm Room 2 Panel: Sustainable Sponsorship, Brands and the PR Greenwash Wobblies! Moderator: Sangeeta Waldron (Serendipity PR)
Speakers: Gary Pitt (Alive Activations); Adam Pearson (O2 Arena); Zac Fox (Kilimanjaro Live); Jacqueline Hochreiter (Budweiser Brewing Group).
About this session: There are many wasteful “norms” in the behaviour of our industry that need to be addressed. How often do we see items manufactured and disposed of after a few days or even hours use due to branding and activations for event sponsorship? As the world wakes up to our responsibilities and the visible marks of our consumption footprint on the world, it has never been more essential for brands to really walk the talk, or brace for the accusations of greenwash. Alongside leading brands, Award-winning PR Specialist and Author, Sangeeta Waldron, and brand activations expert Gary Pitt (Alive Activation, UK) lift the lid on what impacts brands are having, who is pushing boundaries, what is the best practice, and where we go from here. Jacqueline Hochreiter gives insight to the core sustainability goals from a Budweiser Brewing Group (BBG) perspective and how that is extended to their broader eco-system. Adam Pearson shares about the creation of Good Vibes at The O2, and Zac Fox brings a wealth of experience from the promoters perspective having worked with over 50 brands (from drinks to guitars to toilet paper and a myriad of other products and services) across a similar number of events. A Greener Festival has teamed up with Alive Activation to build a platform that helps brands, agencies and events put sustainability at the forefront of these operations in order to reduce their environmental impact. The launch of the Greener Activation platform, along with findings from the Industry survey will be shared during this session.
