Episode twenty and the spotlight is on...the planet! Specifically the importance of making events as eco-friendly as possible. We chatted with Romina Kwong an award-winning event strategist and educator with a passion for sustainability.
Romina’s career has been diverse, from being a Professor at Seneca College where she designed the course curriculum for Foundations of Sustainability in Event Management, to founding Eco-Friendly Events in 2019 - a Toronto-based sustainable event planning and consulting agency for organizations on a mission to do good.
We learn how to think differently about what sustainability event means, how easy it is to incorporate and why that thing most event planners do, isn't accomplishing what we think it is.
