The events industry has a choice. It can pay lip service to combating the climate crisis or it can do something about it. Where do you stand? Our film, The Climate is Changing and So Are We, features isla members who aren’t waiting for someone else to fix things—they’re taking charge together. Our members challenge the status quo, and prove that change is possible. A massive thank you to the isla members featured in the film and the over 2,500 event professionals who’ve been part of the isla membership over the last 4 years.  We're proud to see you driving change, redefining what’s possible, and leading by example. 💚 👇 Venetia Campbell - Eclipse Global, Johnjoseph Ryan - Wood Fashioners, Aarron Mcgurk (AInstAM) - Chorus, Johannes Erasmus - d&b solutions, Marie Simpson (Soanes) - Identity, Rui Cruz Alves - Emota, Lauren Gowing - Collaborate Global, Alexis Parkin - 4Wall, Sam Robson - TAG, Connor Robertson - Smyle #SustainableEvents #EventProfs #EventProfsUK

Are you on the naughty waste list? 🎄 What items on the event waste tree could you make more informed decisions on in 2025? As the year draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on what we’re leaving behind—both figuratively and literally. Let’s leave naughty waste lists and high-carbon-impact practices behind in 2024. 2025 is a new year, and it’s all about progress, not perfection. The first step? Start measuring your event or service’s carbon emissions. After all, measurable progress is the only kind that moves the needle forward. Let us know how you’re going to make better decisions in the coming year, below 👇 (Thank you to our brilliant Accounts & Partnerships Executive, Chris Smith, for creating this beautiful illustration - how lucky are we to have such talent in the isla team?!) #SustainableEvents #EventProfs #EventWaste

Thought of the day 💡 When it comes to reducing the carbon footprint of your events or services, it’s easy to feel like it’s too overwhelming to start - or for those already on the journey, to wonder if their efforts are making a difference. Here’s the truth: progress takes time. Every small step matters. So, whether you’re just starting or you’re deep into the process, the message is similar: JUST START or JUST KEEP GOING. Because the work you put in today will bear fruit tomorrow. What’s one small step you can take today? Let us know in the comments 👇 #SustainableEvents #EventProfs
