3rd GO Group Workshop
Festival and Event Sustainability
Hôtel de Ville
Paris, 08 & 09 April 2013
sold out!
Greener, smarter, more sustainable – the GO Group credo is becoming more and more
important to the European events industry. Festivals from all over the continent take
part in the process and we really want to see all the others follow. That's why GO Group
set up this interactive, open and communicative workshop format to stimulate exchange,
cooperation and inspiration – between event organizers, suppliers and science.
Now it’s time for the 3rd international GO Group workshop in Paris.
We kindly welcome you to this 2-day seminar at the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall of the
City of Paris), on April 8 and 9 2013. The workshop is kindly hosted by We Love Green
and supported by Azimuth Productions.
The third GO Group workshop for Sustainable Festivals and Events will focus on
energy & power (day 1) and waste at events (day 2). Presentations, discussion and
case studies from major European festivals will focus on the problems, solutions and
good practice.
GO stands for Green Operations. GO Group and is an independent, pan European and
cross industry think-tank. GO Group meetings are open to stakeholders interested in
actively pushing the Green Agenda. Bucks University, GreenEvents Europe Conference,
Green Music Initiative (GMI) and Yourope (the European Festival Association) founded
GO Group in early 2011 and made it an european institution for sustainable event
management. (For more GO Group info see page 4)
