The purpose behind TRACE by isla, the definitive carbon measurement platform for events. 🗣️ Our CEO and Founder, Anna Abdelnoor, discusses how our industry has a big part to play in reducing the impact of events on the environment and why there was a real need to build something designed for the events community that could actually be used. It wasn’t just about measuring events' footprints; it was about aggregating that data and understanding the event industry's overall impact. 🎤 Hear from one of our valued TRACE community, Russ Lidstone, President, Inizio Engage XD & CMO, Inizio Engage, on why they started using TRACE and how it’s helped them achieve their sustainability goals.

About us
We work with agencies and brands, organisers and suppliers to provide guidance and support on environmental issues. We draw on expertise from across the sector to create a powerful network with the knowledge and confidence to facilitate change. Founded by events professionals and industry leaders, isla is a network and action-group. We bring together expertise from across the entire events sector and empower our teams with the confidence, knowledge and resources they need to implement new ways of working. Our focus is in three core areas: zero waste, 100% renewable, and carbon emission reductions. Our goal is to set short and long term targets in these areas and then track, measure, and report to support constant improvement. Through facilitation, education and reporting we will share knowledge, up-skill the industry and track our progress in order to rapidly and meaningfully affect change across our industry.

Broadly speaking, we don’t know which materials are being successfully recycled and which are ending up in landfill. This prevents the event industry’s ability to improve our materials management and end-of-life processes. By leading productive conversations, we can start to create solutions, which is why we’re looking forward to watching Eddie Dos Santos isla Show & Tell session next week. He’ll be sharing how ACCLiverpool has tackled waste reduction and created better recycling processes. 👥 isla Members 🗓 Weds 6 November 🕛 10am 💻 Virtual Members should have received an email, if you haven't drop us a comment or message and we'll send you the link. #SustainableEvents #EventProfs

This week we hosted a Membership Open Day and isla Member Forum, back-to-back, at Sustainable Ventures… and what a day it was! 💚 During the morning, we gave a room full of event professionals the opportunity to experience what isla Membership is all about, with a bite-sized training session, a workshop focused on our Materials Action Group, an isla Member panel and a TRACE demonstration. 🌍 After lunch, our brilliant isla Members arrived for two sessions on circularity within events, a panel discussion focused on our Materials Action Group and a friendly game of human bingo! Thank you to our partner Blendology, who made it so easy for everyone to network using their tappable badges. And a HUGE thank you to everyone who came along to either event - we hope you found your experience useful and as enjoyable as we did. Speakers: Johnjoseph Ryan, Venetia Campbell, Stephane Bazire, Tim Stonemeijer, James Wright, Filip Johannesson, Nick Newman Sponsors: Sustainable Ventures, Blendology, Paradigm 24 Limited, Rewind Carpet, White Light #SustainableEvents #EventProfs

Reflecting on a busy and productive week at IMEX America 👇 We had so many valuable conversations with hundreds of event professionals about their progress in carbon measurement and sustainability. It was inspiring to see how many are ready to take action, even those just starting out. The isla team kicked off the IMEX experience by supporting the local community and packing 1,000 food boxes for families in need across Las Vegas at Three Square Food Bank. This incredible organisation provided over 37 million meals last year, and we were honoured to be part of their mission. 💪✨ From there, we delivered a masterclass on upcoming legislation impacting event businesses and ran a live research board at our stand to better understand the sustainability challenges organisations and individuals face. Stay tuned for our findings, which are coming soon! A big thank you to our partner, IMEX, for their continued support in helping us educate the industry on event carbon measurement and sustainability. Congratulations on another fantastic show! #IMEX2024 #EventProfs #IMEX
