HomepageEvent management solutions that provide you with a great show as well as a low carbon footprint.
EcoEvents.com specializes in sustainable event management and the creation of a sustainable event management system that covers the life cycle of your event; from its initial conception through to post-production evaluation and feedback. The dynamic interaction between all stages of your event management system will facilitate continual improvement of your organisation's sustainability performance and promote the ongoing development of your policy. A long term partnership with EcoEvents will enable the review and refinement of this policy through successive event cycles and move your company through to full engagement with its sustainability principles.
EcoEvents personnel include event managers that have been trained in sustainability, particularly those criteria relating to British Standard 8901 (released November 2007). This national standard is the first event specific management specification of its kind, and provides the benchmark for best practice within the events industry. We consider systematic and documented compliance to BS 8901 to be a priority for all organisations that are serious about issues of environmental responsibility and social progress.
One of the clear advantages of choosing EcoEvents to fully manage and produce your event is that you will receive unparalleled continuity, effective team work, maximal chance of realizing management system objectives and continual development of your sustainability policy and procedures. This will undoubtedly give your company a competitive advantage as well as sending out the message that you are forward-thinking, proactive and progressive.
One of the main concerns for organisations, particularly in the corporate sector, is that the *show* will be compromised. This is a common misconception and one that we intend to challenge at every level. As a company that some of the most experienced event managers as part of it's team, we know what it takes to create a fabulous event and we know that, as well as being morally substantial, eco is bang on trend. Incorporating this into your event will show your company at its very best, and using EcoEvents as your event management company will mean that you are also protecting yourself against the increasingly familiar criticisms of greenwashing and propaganda PR. However, we are also sure that you will want to shout about your low carbon achievement - and why not? Qualitative and quantitative carbon auditing is an integral part of the event management system that we facilitate for you, which will present a clear and obvious differential to the actions of your competitors. Combine this with a fabulous event experience and you will find yourself in a league of your own.

Conferences
Improve your image and reputation with an events company that thinks about your conference’s sustainably from the outset. Travel plans; pencils and pens made from recycled materials; electronic communication systems; and the careful use of venue space to ensure your delegates are kept alert through natural ventilation are just a few of the measures that we will facilitate.
Choose from locally sourced menus, organic drinks and end of conference cocktail team-building to deliver powerful statements and make your day a multi-sensory experience as well as an all-round commercial success.
Weddings
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It can also be one of the most wasteful. Did you know that 90% of wedding dresses are flown in from the Middle East, or that the average traditional wedding emits 14.5 tons of CO2 compared to the 12 tons that one person emits in one year?
In order to do something about this, EcoEvents has teamed up with established wedding design and planning experts, Pink Pumpkin, to give you the opportunity to create a beautiful, bespoke wedding that will be glamorous and inspirationally ethical.
Business Meetings
The environment you and your colleagues are asked to concentrate in can literally make or break the success of your business meeting. Effects can be long-lasting and immediate; from first impressions at registration through to the ventilation system that your colleagues are exposed to, the utensils used and the drinks offered.
All these variables can impact upon your agenda and significantly affect what information people take away with them. Make your business meeting a success and deliver a positive, productive and environmentally friendly message with EcoEvents.
Corporate Parties
Event managing corporate parties is our forte. You won’t have to spend lengthy periods of time sourcing ethical suppliers and liaising with numerous contractors - we deal with everything, right down to the number of bags of ice you will need for your themed bar to the songs on your playlist. We have managed corporate events from 50 to 2500 attendees and our clients include Sky, Microsoft and Estee Lauder amongst others.
If corporate responsibility programmes are high on your agenda, then your competitors, and even the media, will be scrutinising your actions. With our unique team of event experts and environmental consultants, you will not only be able to put on a fantastic carbon neutral show but also create an outstanding environmentally responsible reputation for your company.
Exhibitions/Trade Shows
Exhibitions and trade shows involve a formidable amount of pre-production and on-site management. Logistically, you will need to be sure that your show is in safe hands. The EcoEvents team includes the operations manager of Frieze Art Fair, the largest contemporary arts festival in the UK which spans 20,000 m². Our eco-consultants understand the vital components that will need to be addressed if your show is to be run in accord with DEFRA’s key performance indicators, and the team works together in order to ensure that all objectives and legislations are attained.
Concerts
EcoEvents is one of the few event management companies to include personnel who have managed concerts from classical to U2. Stage infrastructure, stage management, power distribution, ticket control and artist liasion are areas that need to be handled carefully if your concert is to be a success, both commercially and finacially.
We also hold over 30m of ethically constructed outside bars that can be included in the options available to you, as well as unparalleled experience in running large outside events of all formats.
Outside Events
Managing your large outdoor event requires specialist knowledge and managing it ethically can be even more daunting! EcoEvents is in a position to provide both sets of skills. Our team includes the site manager of Reading Rock Festival (circa 90,000 attendees a day for 4 days) and a nationally recognised eco-consultant, who has worked on sustainable builds for Grand Designs as well as advising corporate business on their environmental procedures and carbon compensation programmes. We are the first company of its kind in the UK to bring these specialisms together to form a unique events management service.
