About

See how far the events industry has really moved on sustainability—backed by evidence, not optimism. Using new data from TRACE by isla and insights from the only temperature check report of its kind, explore what’s working, what isn’t and where effort falls short of impact. Get clear benchmarks you can compare against, and understand the behaviors and operational choices that move the needle. Leave with a focused set of priority actions, a way to sense‑check your plans, and access to a free measurement bundle that gives you the confidence to make progress.

Learning outcomes:

Interpret key TRACE by isla benchmarks and outline what “good” looks like in 2026

Identify the top three sustainability gaps revealed in the Temperature Check Europe findings

Prioritize actions that deliver the highest impact within common event constraints
