Decarbonising events: Virtual solutions for a greener future

Tim Adelmann, the CTO of MEETYOO, will commence his presentation at ESL by emphasizing the urgent need for sustainability within the events industry. He will then delve into the transformative potential of virtual events in decarbonizing the entire event landscape. Backed by data illustrating an impressive 94% reduction in carbon footprint when events are hosted virtually, Tim will underscore how virtual platforms can be a game-changer for the industry.

Moreover, he will demonstrate how companies can lead the charge in sustainability by forming partnerships with certified environmental organizations to identify and mitigate CO2 emissions across their operations and client events. Through this collaboration, virtual event providers can achieve Net-Zero events by effectively offsetting and compensating for emissions.

Furthermore, Tim will delve into the broader impact on virtual attendee behavior and awareness by demonstrating how event providers can quantify and showcase to attendees the amount of CO2 that is not emitted due to attending an event virtually compared to in-person. This knowledge will inspire attendees to adopt more sustainable practices, not only within virtual events but also in their daily lives.

As part of his engaging approach, Tim is open to any ideas, including participating in panel discussions, to further explore and promote the potential of virtual events in the pursuit of a sustainable future.
