Re-set hackathon

Merrin Pearse, There are summaries from the other sessions happening for us all, 2020-04-15

Jurgis Didžiulis, hi!, 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, Pain Point - Nod or hub based events run at the same time rather than having to travel on one part of the world., 2020-04-15

Organizer - Suzanne Morrell, thanks :), 2020-04-15

Lindsay Seth, CMM, SMMC, Just a comment: Emmanuel Macron spoke (about COVID) to the people of France 2 days ago, and recongnised our inductry as one which has been severely impacted by the virus. First time I have heard a Presîdent who knows we exist., 2020-04-15

Jurgis Didžiulis, good points ?

Jurgis Didžiulis, perhaps include a code of conduct with those best practices?, 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, If you want join on screen with us all click on the link at the top of the videos, 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, How might we raise the profile of the global event industry?, 2020-04-15

Brett Osler, This is Yara (a Norwegian company which operates in various global markets) communicates on how it addresses each of the SDGs and where they are referenced in either annual reports or their Global Reporting Initiative - https://www.yara.com/this-is-yara/sustainability/commitments-and-policies/sustainable-development-goals/, 2020-04-15

Beatrice Jeavons, I think that access of events particularly within the arts to lower socio economical areas should be a priority, 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, Pain Point - events are often held indoors without easy connection to the outdoors or nature., 2020-04-15

Lindsay Seth, CMM, SMMC, Thank you Fiona, this was a great session, really well managed! Thanks Merrin for the behind the scenes action :-), 2020-04-15

Kathryn Winfield, thank you all, Fiona great session and everyone involved - great voices/thoughts thanks, 2020-04-15

Jurgis Didžiulis, its a unique opportunity to bring about a new event industry culture. Use this digital hiatus to put on the "marketing hats" and define those standards, tools, and bring about that new culture (culture = beilfs+behaviours), 2020-04-15

Dawn Dennis, fully agree that showing the BUSINESS CASE for sustainable (redefined) events needs some attention., 2020-04-15

Tiffany Bower, Thanks for awesome facilitation Fiona and Merrin!, 2020-04-15

Camila López, Thank you Fiona & Merrin, thank you all for this lovely session :), 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, I only see red minus symbols, 2020-04-15

Dawn Dennis, thanks!, 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, Looking forward to reading your questions, 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, it is seen that we are a good trusted advisor beyond a one day event. We know about bringing communities together., 2020-04-15

kezy Mukiri, Key takeaway - we need to raise the profile of our industry globally by communicating more to our audiences, attendees and stakeholders what we are doing. As a company, for example, we run a lot of impact events here in Nairobi, Kenya championing the SDGs. We do indeed need to talk more about our contribution and impact. Thanks for the session., 2020-04-15

Jan-Jaap In der Maur, Why is raising our profile a goals in itself?, 2020-04-15

Jurgis Didžiulis, its nice to discover how much you can have in common with people you've never met in person..., 2020-04-15

Valeria Geritzen, thank you so much, you are spot on Fiona, 2020-04-15

Beatrice Jeavons, So that arts and cultural events can be accessed by all audiences, 2020-04-15

Jurgis Didžiulis, Spot on ?!! Standard, tools, unified resources and education to create a new industry culture!!!, 2020-04-15

Facilitator Fiona Pelham, www.positiveimpactevents.com, 2020-04-15

Brett Osler, Another is a project I was previously part of, Healthy Active by Design, which includes a range of things improving the health of our communities including the events (largely via Destinations and Sense of Place) and Healthy Food which has a reasonable focus on healthy food, minimal waste, etc including philosophies like 'paddock to plate' - https://www.healthyactivebydesign.com.au, 2020-04-15

Camila López, Idea: boost transdisciplinary collaboration to generate knowledge (more academic link with event industry) . must of the studies are based in UK, US, Australia .. expand this and also there is a gap in the academic research related to the social/cultural benefits of events (mainly festival industry). Boost academic exchange thru our fields., 2020-04-15

Amy Munro, Thank you all, 2020-04-15

Beatrice Jeavons, Thanks guys! been great!, 2020-04-15

Brett Osler, Good point. It is suggested that the fundamentals of diplomacy are: Representation, Negotiation and Communication, 2020-04-15

Info coming

• Alastair Duncan, I think Daniel/sVermont made a good point about event organisers including some kind os sustainability into the tender process. I have certainly done this in all tenders I have issued., 2020-04-15
• Sally Jones, Intro - Sally, working as events producer currently across a range of events, previous background is event and venue management for organising committees for large scale sports events. Based in London., 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, it needs to be developed, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, yes, 2020-04-15
• Adarsh Subramanian, There is some issue with joining in. In many education programs, there is a gap between the theory and what happens in the industry. In our masters at AISTS, we had great lectures couple of weeks ago on sustainability. The lectures were about what different events and sporting federations are doing now. There were some great ones like the Ocean Race which gave us a different perspective but also ones that were dud. But what is missing is a real hands-on experience. Converting theory to practice has been the gap and that is something that needs to be worked on in education. Apologies, most of this has already been discussed as I was typing., 2020-04-15
• Daniel Vermont, Paul Dewswould be great to chat about your bungee and cable tie troubles., 2020-04-15
• Alastair Duncan, Intro, I am Alastair, I work in sports events, mostly outdoor & mass participation (cycling, triathlons, maratons etc). Based in Estonia, I go where the work is. My background is in architecture & constructon, I, 2020-04-15
• Kristen Fulmer, Lucy Agreed! I think it's showing people who may not think that the ocean, for example, relates to them (if they do not feel close to it) that it's actually tied to other things they love - whether that's animals, or skiing, or anything else. This virus has a new way to show how truly global everything is, 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, Paul Dews, International Event Consultant. Predominatly work on major multi sports event. Currently writing a paper on branding and signage sustainability in events, 2020-04-15

• Cristiana Pace, Why and How, 2020-04-15
• Adarsh Subramanian, I'm Adarsh doing my Masters in Sports Management in Lausanne, Switzerland. Doing a research on sustainable sports events., 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, we are missing key role model figure which embrace and communicate the message of sustainability in the sport (there are some but not aligned, 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, Sure, 2020-04-15
• Pierluigi Zacheo, I’m Pierluigi founder of MyStadium. I am based in London and I am a sustainability advisor working with companies in the sport industry., 2020-04-15
• Emilie Llorens, Emilie Llorens - Curve Communications & Events -UK - I work mostly for sport organisations on their sustainability programme., 2020-04-15
• Alastair Duncan, @Žiga can I ask how big a part sustainability played in your education? I was educated in 1980's, and event then it played a part in my education in Scotland, even though it was not really called 'sustainability' at that time., 2020-04-15
• Kristen Fulmer, Certification should be used a validation tool, instead of the method to lead decision-making... A conversation I've often had in real estate development regarding LEED certification (or other building standards), 2020-04-15
• Alastair Duncan, I cover venue design, overlay, safety, temporary infrastructure, look, branding etc, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, Good morning I am Cristiana Pace from Enovation Consulting. I am based in the UK near Silverstone and I working with a number of stakeholders in the motorsport sector., 2020-04-15
• Kristen Fulmer, @Ziga Here in the US, we're probably most productive when we can push private companies to sponsor these programs through pressures with corporate responsibility and private investment streams., 2020-04-15
• Adarsh Subramanian, 1) Sustainability is viewed differently in different parts of the world. The organizers / future event managers need to be educated to be sensitive to this and cater to the needs of the geography they are working in. (2) Before diving deep, should we take a step back and maybe think if there should be one common language for sustainability in events across the world. To draw a parallel, PMI has established a common language for Project Management. I'm not sure if this a backward step, but I believe this will bring in more people into sustainability., 2020-04-15
• Organiser: Meegan Jones, Hi 10 min warning.... don't forget to do a message recording of your main take away. And do a screen shot! You can leave early if you want to go and do some networking, look at the expo and get ready to do the pet therapy or stretching session!, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, in engineering we have transfer of technology networking event, can we have something similar to exchange best practice on education and engaging with young generation between different sports?, 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, Also budget will still often take precedent over sustainability when it comes to the final assessment of a tender. Industry standards need to be raised. This is the repsonsibility of everyone from sponsors, to event owners to event organisers, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, @Alaistair @Daniel In Motorsport we have already introduce sustainability in the tender process. It has helped, but lots need to be done to extend the get across to the all ecosystem., 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, Education needs to be top down across the organisation, the more educated the workforce the more they will push for a pathway at junior level. Youth are already pretty engaged with the cause, the older generations are the ones that are less consistent, 2020-04-15
• Daniel Vermont, Agree to not being optional., 2020-04-15
• Žiga Bulc, Alastair Duncan So far it hasn't been included in the education program, it was all individual interest and motivation, only since I started with my professional internships I started to learn more and more and become more interested in, 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, , 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, we have ISO????, 2020-04-15

• Kristen Fulmer, Kristen Fulmer - Recipric (www.recipric.com) -, 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, I agree with Rico, I think there is a lack of education in general in the industry, 2020-04-15
• Lucy Hunt, youth lots of hands on activities to be launched later this month :), 2020-04-15
• Claire Poole, Hi there, I'm listening but can't participate because of a deadline :) Claire Poole, CEO of Sport Positive Summit, and Founder of ClearBright Consult, 2020-04-15

• Paul Dews, ?Daniel Vermont (side topic)I led the Road Events Look Programme at 2012, we led with the bungee system on the first day of the Cycle Road Race and it got abandoned for cable ties for various reasons by day 2 - please stick with it!, 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, i think you need to give measurables against though What's - what can you do and what will it achieve, 2020-04-15
• Alastair Duncan, Cristiana could it be that those who do embrace & communicate sustainability in sport all perhaps have a different definition of the word sustainability?, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, @Alastair agreed., 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, Organisation/industry, 2020-04-15
• Claire Poole, www.sportpositivesummit.com // claire.poole@sportpositivesummit.com, 2020-04-15
• Žiga Bulc, Kristen that is what I was wondering yes, thank you, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, I agree with Rico too, especially in our industry., 2020-04-15
• Rico Tesio, @ziga it does not help. thankfully there are enough people on the other side of the argument., 2020-04-15
• Daniel Vermont, I think the same way we deliver our Health and Safety Plans our Risk Assessments, Security Plans that we quite often copy from event to event we should have the same plans for sustainability practices., 2020-04-15
• Alastair Duncan, Cristiana I think most organisers include some kind of sustainable questions in their tenders, however I still see tenders issued to me, or done by others that do not include anything. IMO it's a basic part of any tender and a really simple and easy thing to include., 2020-04-15
• Daniel Vermont, NfL in London had huge bins that encouraged people to vote who would win by putting there rubbish into recycle bins. Ability to be interactive, 2020-04-15
• Žiga Bulc, what role should he IOC play in all this? We can use them effectively, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, we seems to have forgot the ability to showcase good initiatives in the short term, and role models to push this off to the media., 2020-04-15
• Žiga Bulc, Rico how much of a limit is the contradicting view of the national government on the funding and future possibilities of sustainability in sport?, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, As a federation World Sailing has a great program! Do you have some numbers on how many kids have engaged with over the year and what is the rate of change?, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, Best practice is always transferable!!!, 2020-04-15
• Lucy Hunt, The Ocean Race have Youth Academy and also run Ocean Health workshops at each race village and have online programme learning.theoceanrace.com .. Also keep an eye out for World Sailing Sustainability programme for, 2020-04-15
• Cristiana Pace, in our sport, the problem are not youngsters, but teaching the old generation, and the categories which are still run from mid 60s/70s year old people. I have 3 young kids and they are all learning sustainability at school, including impact in water and land, 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, Sustainability is a section of multi-sports events tenders, I am not convinced the stewardship post event is necessarily all that strong, however. Committees disband, the people move on (not just multi-sports events for the latter), 2020-04-15
• Daniel Vermont, I think a big part of education is the ability to show youth what sustainability is. Sky Ocean Rescue for example built a whale out of plastic waste that really hit home how much waste goes into the ocean each day, 2020-04-15
• Alastair Duncan, Adarsh this goes back to what I said earlier, that the term 'sustainability' means different things to different events. Perhaps defining what it means to specific events would be a start, almost like a specific 'sustainability' statement in the event mission statement., 2020-04-15
• Paul Dews, 20121, 2020-04-15
• Kristen Fulmer, Definitely a good guide to provide enhanced baseline (above minimum expectations), but hopefully that minimum expectation is being raised over time, which ultimately also pushes the certification to be more progressive as well., 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, hehehe yes I work internationally but I am based between events in Malta (in the med =) and New Zealand, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, We can drive so much change in this industry right now -to do some external research about new ideas and options, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Hopefully things will rebooot in time to not deeply affect mass chains long term but its a time where we can promote the food waste issue - YES Miek -, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, most chefs really struggle, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Perhaps as an industry it would be good to really understand and research local options now raher than waiting to see what is available at the time, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, They chose to go for the sustainable options to make an example., 2020-04-15

Facilitator - Tracy Stuckrath, Good morning/afternoon/evening!, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Definitely important as if someone who is vegan is organising its important to get a meat eater to test the food. As its about taking care of all., 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, YES Claudia - and i think that with an increase in pricing and the resources - we will realise this too, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Hes a great example Miek - i wonder if the industry as a whole could do some reports on the savings of climate and env and health power of making different choices, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, As we ran a sustainable conference for normal humans this last year and made a kickass menu, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Claudia - I am also vegan and would choose to eat something natural over Beyond Burger but I think when it comes to feeding it to the masses it works, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, I hear you Tracy - just not sure how many meat eaters would be 'satisfied' with some stuffed peppers :D, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Yes I think that the need will increase for 'food waste' that can be passed from the more affluent circles (running events once it gets going again) and supporting those that are still in a poor state post covid, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, I agree there is a big opportunity for conversations around food to be more prominent. I mean the other possibility is that everyone goes into full on consumption mode once we are all let out!, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Agreed Miek - positive mindset and a change of values hopefully around food and its value, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, and thats from a mediterranean audience, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, YES to what Miek is saying -- definitely will be affecting suppliers of catering, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, thats why as organisers its good to focus on the menu choices. and tasting., 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, lollll hilarious vegan options, 2020-04-15

Facilitator - Tracy Stuckrath, agreed!, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, So sustainable Eats and Treats is a restaurant cafe and bar certification, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, I think organisers will have to be more dynamic - promoting the local sourcing and sustainable ways - perhaps even because they are now the only options. Staying safe by focussing on local food chains, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, lollll ironically toilet roll is on the *currently out of stock* list, 2020-04-15

Facilitator - Tracy Stuckrath, It is not showing me that you want to come in. Have you clicked participate?, 2020-04-15

Facilitator - Tracy Stuckrath, Gail, I did hit accept. Why not go out and try to come back in., 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Local foods may become more popular as well as food sourced naturally - as even here people are reverting to growing food and getting an awareness of what it means when supermarkets are not the reliable provider, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Here for example restaurants that are closed and freelance chefs are teaming up to feed those who really neeed it. We can team up with local initiatives to spread the left over foods to those that may still be suffering as a fall out to covid. I think that legalities for this will be loosened perhaps by local governemts for the needs increase, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, and this is a power point for our industry to be promoting this new way, 2020-04-15

Facilitator Miek Egberts, :-), 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Even meat eaters love it, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, with lots of pre event campaigning and signage on site and we had such good feedback, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Ensuring that the catering is still possible for a varied menu. And closing the loop for food waste and composting - feeding back into the local resource or spreading to those that need it, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, we do audits for hospitality outlets and then set them up with advice to get them to be more sustainable, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, So post covid I think that food waste is going to be much more of a focus, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, Great that they are looking at this Tracey, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, in a few events we have run we have met with them first and even managed to set up an inhouse compost system and local food sourcing - which hotels are then mostly really happy to continue with as its a USP or upsell for their future clients, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, See the audience and what the limits are and whats possible, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, As I know from friends of mine that work in the food supply chain that things are already out of stock worldwide, as so there will be a lag time where some foods are available. Creating more of an awareness about amounts of food, serving sizes, menu choices. Rather than a consumption viewpoint, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, At IMEX America they had the Beyond Burger and even the meat eaters lovedddd it, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, hahaha - wow - the market is so interesting. YES to communicating it. I think also its important about the cheff, 2020-04-15

Co-Facilitator - Gayle Murphy, I would be so unimpressed. I think maybe its not that they dont care, but unless you are vegan, you dont really know how to be innovative for good veggie and vegan eco friendly options, 2020-04-15

Antonio Cañas, In this case it is necessary to run a complete LCA to study alternatives, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Paul Schurink, Industrial cleaning should be mandatory, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Patricia Yagüe, Hi Stefan!, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Patricia Yagüe, post-pandemic, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Paul Schurink, Can we find solutions to make single use more sustainable?, 2020-04-15

Sue Hill, there is no pushback in my experience where reuseables are used. The roadblock for some organisers and venue operators is they feel the cost is too high for circular use vs single use, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Paul Schurink, Great Thomas. Do you think this will be the new standard for all events?, 2020-04-15

Marta Barahona Arroyo, At what time we will be back?, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Lisa Cameron, What if the single use vessel could be repurposed into something that added value to the festival site? i.e. event infrastructure?, 2020-04-15

Thomas De Veylder, I think so. 2 years ago, nobody was thinking about that, but everything is changing., 2020-04-15

Sue Hill, events have special bins for these products - it gives them another income stream at the end of the day, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Paul Schurink, The last 2 minutes we have to record a wrap up, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Patricia Yagüe, rPET, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Paul Schurink, Transparency is key, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Patricia Yagüe, rPET oly food aproved, rPP is not food aproved, 2020-04-15

Thomas De Veylder, and now we are building drinking fountains with sensors, so you don't have to touch anything, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Patricia Yagüe, Alum is non renewable.. is it sustainable?, 2020-04-15

Fac. - Patricia Yagüe, Hello everyone! Testing the chat, 2020-04-15

claire oneill, Hellooo :), 2020-04-15

Thomas De Veylder, Paul, we already noticed a change in use of a drinking fountain. years ago you could only drink from it with your mouth, now hygiene is more and more important and nobody want to touch things.. so that's why we are creating a drinking fountains with Sensors., 2020-04-15

Stefan Gevaert, Do you pose this question in the context of a post-pandemic world or right now?, 2020-04-15

Cristian D'Affuso, I think is also a problem of responsibility. Which management can encourage the use of reusable cups? bad sanitation can cause contagions. Moreover, in Italy there are really stringent rules on the hygiene of dishes, 2020-04-15

Stefan Gevaert, To add to the previous topic without interrupting the flow: streamed and virtual events have unique proven potential in terms of 1) interaction and 2) tier-based incentives, which allow them to raise money and awareness for social/environmental sustainability effectively., 2020-04-15

• Emilija Vidtmann, As being an organizer of a major European B2B Conference, we have recognised that networking is one of our major priorities and advantages.

• Adrian Bossey, yes it is tricky and I feel as though I need more information and also love live in person events so it's not about stopping them, maybe it's about having small physical capacities ...If you think about Glastonbury demand always outstrips the supply of tickets and in a way the deal with the BBC for terrestrial TV coverage mitigates this and democratises the event as it provides a cheaper way to engage ..., 2020-04-15
• Joanne Jo, yes, yes, don't know, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, It's all good - I am busy rescuing my current business! No go here., 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, Yes ?MENTION_NAME=Nada/sPiatek&ID=112679 , we make 'infographic' type graphics that show the process of the reusable system and how we are washing them. In each phase, we explain in detail how it meets requirements. We saw that some graphics, were just graphics and left out the whole other side that attendees may have like, 'how is this safe? How does this meet regulations? What are the regulations?' Does that make sense?, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, And if they meet regs, then they should stand, right?, 2020-04-15

David Binstead, Great summary and fac 

Rachael Bailey, I wish I could have a virtual background like in Zoom!!!, 2020-04-15

Chad Buxton, I would like to include implementation and payment of systems. Who pays and when, can you get the systems sponsored, how do you get buy in etc., 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, For cleansing pens it might be implementation of UV lights as sanitiser., 2020-04-15

David Binstead, Coffee cup share system infrastructure for takeaway without the throwaway. 1 year young and from zero to nearly one million single use cups diverted from waste., 2020-04-15

karen Lee, background noise makes it hard to hear you?, 2020-04-15

Chad Buxton, David Nice cups! Yes, I would love to know how to have an implementation system for events. Eg - what is the cost of the service to provide them to the event, what happens to no-returned cups (cost), how they get there and are managed, etc., 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, IMHO the standards are fine. The workflow to interact between reusables and the existing systems are the question here., 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, I'm a coffee cup reusable systems organiser for cafes - events pending., 2020-04-15

Chad Buxton, Events Sustainability Advisor., 2020-04-15

Julia Spangler, Washing stations for attendees to use seem problematic -- the average person doesn't wash things clean enough, 2020-04-15

Danielle Brooks, Event Organiser- Melbourne, 2020-04-15

David Binstead, Hygiene protocols [cafe-scale] already in place: https://www.againagain.co/covid-19 It would be similar at a larger event scale, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Thanks Karen, love to get your thoughts after Marina, 2020-04-15

Rachael Bailey, I would -, 2020-04-15

Ellen Walden, Do we think people will go back to using 'compostable' items? This being problematic as lots of items that say they are compostable aren't actually compostable in reality, 2020-04-15

Liam Prince, Agree Nada, 2020-04-15

Liam Prince, Kia ora koutou, I'm Liam, a zero waste educator and advocate for public policy change. Also a professional musician, 2020-04-15

Julia Spangler, How are sanitization practices currently communicated to clients? Could part of the solution be better communication of what is already done cleanliness-wise?, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Yes for sure Nada, still reusable items at events in scope at present., 2020-04-15

Chad Buxton, David Sounds great. A reuasble coffee cup service at events is a big waste reduction offer. ;), 2020-04-15

Laura Dolos, or for large events - its not practical., 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, Hi! Marina McCoy - Founder/CEO of Waste Free Earth based in Burlington, Vermont. We work all across the country to build sustainable strategies for events., 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, Artist riders - we try to shop in bulk, but some artists request for single-use, individually wrapped products., 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, Sustainability Strategist working for Corporates and Events in Hong Kong (I'm a Kiwi). Big project I work for is Hong Kong Rugby 7s tournament which introduced reusable cups last year., 2020-04-15

karen Lee, This may be a venue management question - good to investigate, 2020-04-15

David Binstead, Events are short-term, venues are long-term. Onsite wash +sanitise already exists, but just not at the right scale presently, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, Can you elaborate on "visual timeline of our reusable process" ?MENTION_NAME=Marina/sMcCoy&ID=129625, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, But only if managed., 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Yes from 2015, 2020-04-15

Julia Spangler, Does that clean the exterior of the cup?, 2020-04-15

Chad Buxton, ?MENTION_NAME=Julia/sSpangler&ID=110317 No, that doesn't clean the outside of the cup., 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, Have those self-wash systems ever actually met standards? Regs are same for all., 2020-04-15

Julia Spangler, I agree, cups and food vessels are the main issue I'm concerned with, 2020-04-15

David Binstead, ?MENTION_NAME=Chad/sBuxton&ID=109230 thanks for cup +1! We have worked [early-stage] with smaller events on a per-event basis, and were just about to start with a venue running about 25 800-2500 pax events through the year. I'll DM you some indicatives a bit later, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Yes i"ve had experience, 2020-04-15

karen Lee, same - if we're going to stay with reusable there will have to be sanitising solutions at events, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Please can you mute your microphones if you're not talking, 2020-04-15

Julia Spangler, Compostable serviceware is tricky in the US also, 2020-04-15

Chad Buxton, yes, 2020-04-15

karen Lee, This will be a piece of work we look at through our Council, 2020-04-15

Fac: Michael Cyr, If you're watching feel free to jump back in, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, Agree, 2020-04-15

Julia Spangler, Can you repeat that here in the chat Nada The biggest opportunity?, 2020-04-15

karen Lee, Ellen Walden I think venues are going to have to rethink regardless, 2020-04-15

Julia Spangler, I've done on-site rinsing for dish return, but not washing for immediate resuse, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, Karen, do. you think we need new sanitisation processes, or new workflow processes?, 2020-04-15

David Binstead, Nada agreed. IF managed, 2020-04-15

karen Lee, Also not realistic to put expectation on customers to maintain regulatory levels of hygiene, as well as need to reduce handling risks, 2020-04-15

karen Lee, Kim I'm going to leave group because I want to listen in to a couple of others. Will the chat notes be saved and shared?, 2020-04-15

David Binstead, NZ packaging forum stats, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, nice. - then they must still meet regs then?, 2020-04-15

Rachael Bailey, I have a question about non-restaurant/cafe venues, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, Even if you did, I don't think that would comply Karen., 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Yes for sure Karen, 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, I think the "bar-tender" / "server staff" way of handling dirty and clean is a big issue as much as the cups itself., 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, I'd like to add to the discussion that there are two issues here - what do we need to do operationally? And want we need to do to addresses the PERCEPTIONS of people that we are doing what we need to do?, 2020-04-15

Ellen Walden, Lots of venues aren't necessarily up to scratch around reusables and sustainable practices which can be frustrating, 2020-04-15

Liam Prince, I am but not working..., 2020-04-15

David Binstead, It may be in chrome audio permission settings ?MENTION_NAME=Liam/sPrince&ID=128246, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Great point Merrin, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, I don't believe the regs were being met properly, 2020-04-15

Fac: Michael Cyr, Marina - what steps should be added into the info-graphic to include sanitation points? Can you share? in video, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Marina do you work with Globelet? Would you consider sharing that with the group?, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Yes Nada, there are published solutions from councils, 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, Kim yes I have worked with Globlet on their first US event, love Ryan and hope to work with him more. We also have our own reusable systems for smaller events under about 7,000 attendees., 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, Great wrap of notes!, 2020-04-15

karen Lee, Agree Merrin - so perhaps its about getting agreed protocols with food and drink industry?, 2020-04-15

Niki Gassett, Big fan of the Globelet team! I have known Ryan for a couple years now having worked with him on a couple of events as well. Such a great cause and genuinely a company that wants to drive long term change., 2020-04-15

Merrin Pearse, True karen and particularly what are international standards rather than state or region based standards., 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, with four bin systems, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, *pre, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, THanks Karen, good point, 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, We have had great success with sustainable buy in when we lay out a visual timeline of our reusable process to attendees, staff members and local government. Filled with facts about how this system does meet health code regulations. We do this through all communication channels - newsletter, website, socials, pr, etc., 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, She did the calcs in our working group in 2015, 2020-04-15

Julia Spangler, Marina Those graphics sound great, 2020-04-15

Liam Prince, Hehe *nervous laughter*, 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, I can send one via email, we are in the process of updating one. I would be happy to share with anyone who wants it., 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, BUt David, if the end point is managed, they are a viable option., 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, Awesome Marina - per-event is great., 2020-04-15

Liam Prince, Thanks all! Really valuable, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Thanks Ellen, I'll touch on this soon, 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, Yes I agree, clear communication and transparency is super important, 2020-04-15

David Binstead, 'Compostables'. Cups - In NZ only 1 in 400 reach composting facility. 295m annum goto landfill, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek Julia/ A third party wash facility, that is dissociated from the hire of the vessels, is the worlds biggest commercial opportunity as circular economy is becoming normalised, 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, And festival app!! We have them send reminders, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, Love this "We have had great success with sustainable buy in when we lay out a visual timeline of our reusable process to attendees, staff members and local government. Filled with facts about how this system does meet health code regulations. We do this through all communication channels - newsletter, website, socials, pr, etc.", 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, MPI in NZ have the standards, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, I would argue that with good infrastructure, events are a good use case for compostables... way more than BAU-cafes where the end point is not managed., 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, That sounds awesome.... can you share a link to this at all?, 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, David those stats aren't accurate in NZ anymore, 2020-04-15

Marina McCoy, Thank you everyone! Great discussions, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, Thanks - great session., 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, CAn everyone come back on screen?, 2020-04-15

Nada Piatek, I totally support that statement idea Kim., 2020-04-15

Fac Kim Renshaw, I'll send out the notes on the slack channel, 2020-04-15

Laura Dolos, Thanks for the discussion points, 2020-04-15
