Recorded last summer, Chantal Kerr-Sheppard explains how their innovative Start Up Business; Event Cycle is plugging a much needed gap in the Events Market.
Taking event materials that are no longer needed and re purposing and redistributing to non profit organisations, helping to minimse costs and carbon emissions for charities. And setting a new gold standard for event waste!

Recorded back in April 2021, this EFS walks you through the ingredients to include in a comprehensive Event Debrief or Evaluation.
Starting at the end of the event (I know it sounds the wrong way round!) can be super helpful in thinking about how you approach your planning so I always recommend a really thorough debrief. There's a lot of ideas in here so you might want to grab a pen and paper! 📝
