Most analysts agree that transport accounts for the largest slice of CO2 emissions associated with the events industry. Whether it’s delegate travel or kit being freighted around the country, the way we manage transport has a huge effect on the sustainability of our events.

To recognise this we have now added a transport CO2 calculator module to eventberry. This allows you to enter travel details for all delegates and measure how you can improve from event to event. The output from the calculator is included in your final report allowing you to benchmark transport CO2 for your projects.

Welcome to the new, improved eventberry. We believe we had already created a market leading management system for sustainable events, but we didn’t want to stand still. Based on client feedback and hours of debate and discussion we feel that the new release of the system is a step change for sustainable event management.

Firstly, the basic system is free. Sustainability is built on collaboration and we don’t want anyone to be unable to use eventberry based on cost.

Secondly, we added major enhancements to the way organisers, suppliers and venues interact – giving organisers comparative tools to measure performance and offering venues and suppliers the opportunity to market their sustainable credentials to the widest possible audience.

Finally, we’re not stopping here – we have more additional features on the way including a desktop widget, an iPhone application and more. Stay tuned for more developments, and don’t forget – eventberry is free, so sign up now.
