Happy #EarthDay π
The world is celebrating Earth Day today and for a good reason! Now, more than ever we need to take care of our planet and be more sustainable and mindful in every aspect of our lives. The year of 2020 has been eye-opening in many ways, highlighting among other things the effect our pre-pandemic daily lives have on the natural world up to now. Worldwide lockdowns and greatly reduced global travel have given nature some much needed respite.
The events industry also embraced some huge changes last year, shifting to virtual and dramatically reducing the ecological impact the sector had in its traditional form. Since iVent first hosted it's virtual event back in 2010 we have set out on a mission to shift the industry and host sustainable events.
By hosting a 3-day virtual event you could save up to 455 tonnes of CO2 emitted at a traditional event.
Today, we are taking it a step further and are excited to announce our new initiative to plant trees for every new event that we host on our platform. That's right - we are making our events carbon neutral.
We are partnering up with our friends at TreeNation to start growing our own iVent forest. The more events we host, the more trees will be planted and over their lifetime offset even more CO2.

🙏 We want to thank all our existing customers who have chosen to go virtual with us! Your events are making the difference to Planet Earth and helping us with our mission to be more sustainable in delivering events.
