205 - Real Talk about Sustainable Events with Alycia Drube

This week on the podcast, we’re joined by event sustainability advocate and onsite event manager, Alycia Drube for a real talk on what it actually means to plan sustainable events. We explore why sustainability can feel more like a buzzword than a best practice, common mistakes planners make, and practical ways to incorporate sustainable (and not only environmental) choices into your events. Plus, we each get a mini sustainability consult on recent events we produced—what worked, what didn’t, and where we can all do better. If you're ready to move beyond the green-washing and make a real impact with your events, this one's for you.
