Far from pushing the sustainability agenda to the bottom of the list, COVID19 has catalysed a “systems reset” and a massive paradigm shift in industry beliefs, values and business models. We call it the Regenerative Revolution. In this session you will learn the growth of regenerative tourism and events, how climate change and social issues are demanding a new approach to events management. We will share the Regenerative Revolution research and framework and explore how to redesign events and our industry.

Learning Outcomes 

1. Understand the core concepts and principles of Regenerative Tourism and Events.
2. Gain awareness about the GDS-Movement framework for regenerative events management, and how this could help you to manage, develop and steward your events.
