Key Issues in Global Events: Using ISO 20121 to Build Reputation

The objective of the one hour complimentary webinar (45-min presentation / 15-min Q&A) is to provide an overview of the benefits that organizations are realizing from implementing sustainability events management systems. It is now over one year since the ISO 20121 standard was launched which was designed to create sustainable events. We take this point to review how organizations have implemented ISO 20121 to create truly sustainable events with a real legacy. We view how the London 2012 Olympics paved the way for other organizations across the events sector to become more sustainable in their environment, social and economic performance. The London 2012 Olympics can act as a role model for all future large scale events by embracing ISO 20121. We look at how ISO 20121 can provide structure to those inspirational sustainable events. We also look at key issues that organizations are having in staging high profile global events, especially as we move towards Qatar 2020.
