Showtime! It’s sustainability show season…
It’s that time of year, autumn leaves bring sustainability show season to London
As the event industry leans further into a more sustainable future, the final quarter of the year brings with it a series of unmissable exhibitions and conferences focused on event sustainability. This time of year, which we’re dubbing ‘sustainability show season’, is the time for everyone across the industry to come together and exchange ideas and innovations that will lead to more responsible events.
Two upcoming events stand out for us, and we’re pleased to be playing a significant role at both. Here’s our look at what’s coming up.
The Sustainable Events Show
The Sustainable Events Show, on 31st October 2024 at Chicago Booth Conference Centre London, is a must-attend for anyone working in the events industry. With a focus on reducing the environmental impact of events and enhancing social responsibility, the show provides a space for industry leaders to connect, collaborate, and explore new strategies for making events more sustainable.
event:decision will not only be exhibiting at the show but also showcasing our work as part of The Power 50 UK’s Most Sustainable Agencies, the definitive campaign recognising UK agencies at the forefront of sustainability.
Supported primarily by Encore EMEA and also by Wyboston Lakes Resort, The Power 50 highlights those agencies setting benchmarks in sustainability within the events sector. The Sustainable Events Show will offer a unique face-to-face optimisation clinic for all Power50 MSA entrants. Don’t miss the chance to meet with the P50 MSA team at the show to go over your proposals. Please register for the show independently.
As curators of all content sessions, we are also proud to support the Sustainable Events Show by helping to shape the agenda with a wide range of seminars and workshops all focused event sustainability. CEO Matt Grey will be speaking on “How to deliver a responsible event – Carbon is just the start…”, alongside industry experts in a wide variety of fields.
For anyone looking to improve the sustainability credentials of their agency or event, this show will offer an excellent opportunity to meet with sustainability experts, see cutting-edge solutions, and learn how to incorporate more eco-friendly practices into your operations.

Event Sustainability Live
Event Sustainability Live (ESL), taking place 20th & 21st November at ExCeL, London, another key date in the event sustainability calendar. This event focuses on driving real change within the events industry by showcasing sustainable products, services, and innovations, while offering a full programme of educational sessions and networking opportunities for industry professionals.
event:decision is thrilled to be both exhibiting and speaking at ESL. At 12:40 on Wednesday 20th Matt Grey will be speaking on his “Top ten learnings from three years in event sustainability”. After event:decision’s first three years working for 200+ event brands, Matt will be sharing what the team has learned about event sustainability that everyone can benefit from. From the sudden surge of ‘we’re sustainable’ through to ‘how do we really do this?’ ‘what should we be doing?’ and ‘how can we prove it?’. The event industry has been through a lot in the last few years – this talk from Matt is the perfect chance to learn from it all.
