In June 2024, we launched our inaugural #OutsideFestival in Denver. Along with creativity and inclusivity, sustainability was a core value of the event from day one. By nature, big live events have a hefty environmental impact and we were determined to not only minimize ours, but to capture deep data that would drive our efforts in the future. With the help of our incredible partner Green Disco we did just that. We’re proud to share the 2024 Outside Festival Impact Report, a comprehensive view of all that we accomplished and, importantly, where we can improve. Some key highlights: ♻️ We collected 9,450 pounds of waste and diverted 71% of it from the landfill through a rigorous recycling and composting program with our partner, Scraps. ♻️ We achieved a 91% reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions through hybrid battery systems. ♻️ We avoided 21,000+ single-use plastic water bottles through our hydration stations. ♻️ Through our partnerships with Ball Corporation and Liquid Death, and by working closely with all our food vendors on compostable serveware, we were a proud single-use plastic-free event. ♻️ We donated more than 650 meals to local nonprofits and people with food insecurity. A huge thank you to Green Disco, Groundswell Experiential, Scraps, and to our amazing volunteer Green Team for helping us get here. We also couldn’t have done it without the support, cooperation, and enthusiasm of all our vendors and partners who share our sustainability values and are committed to doing their part. We intend to keep pushing our efforts further in 2025. If your brand would like to be involved with Outside Festival 2025 and our sustainability efforts, please reach out. Let’s work together! Read more about our impact report and efforts here: https://lnkd.in/gRn3D5r4 We can’t wait to see you in June 2025 for year two. And don’t forget to bring your refillable water bottle! #sustainability #events #getoutside

Swapping city skylines for mountain trails, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! 🏔️🏃♀️ Since moving to a small mountain town in Colorado in 2020, I’ve fallen head over hiking boots for the great outdoors. So naturally, joining Outside Inc as the Marketing Manager for Event Services feels like the perfect fit! Three weeks in, and and I’m thrilled to be part of a team that is focused on getting more people outside. With my background in event management and community marketing, I’m looking forward to partnering with Race Directors to create outstanding events that make lasting impressions for race participants. Catch ya outside! 😎 ✌ #GetOutside #OutsideInc #atheleteReg #FinisherPix #racedirectors #eventdirectors

Plus-size adventurer + CEO of The Gorgeous Agency, helping the world’s greatest brands to navigate conversation about body inclusivity, build connection and authentic growth via the 65% of Americans in larger bodies.
One of the greatest gifts of attending the Outside Festival was reconnecting with the Backpacker Magazine team. They gave me the opportunity to write for them again with the ability to elevate body inclusive voices and stories. In my most recent story, you'll learn about Kanoa Greene, someone I've admired for so long in the plus-size fitness and travel space. It was such a delight to get to know her and her amazing work with NAKOA Adventure, a travel company specifically for plus-size explorers. Because of her work, you can learn to surf, hike, paddle board and more in the company of folks plus-size bodies. The thoughtfulness Kanoa puts into her offerings is downright outstanding, please check out this article and comment below where you'd love to go with Nakoa! https://lnkd.in/e3hq9BWq #keynotespeaker #bodyinclusivity #plussizemarket #travel #adventure #accessiblity #outsidefestival #accessibletravel
