Earth Day, Everyday: Tech Tips for Sustainable Events

As an event planner, you’re already well aware of everything that goes into planning a single event. But until the date has come and gone, you might not realize just how much environmental waste could have been prevented.

Earth Day comes and goes each year, but event professionals are looking for more ways to create greener, more sustainable events year-round. From “going green” with new technology to simply using fewer resources, there’s more than one way to make your next event more eco-friendly and entertaining.

Feature Friday: Plastic Badge Printing + Raw Event Space

Customization is taking over events and Boomset has added another on-demand printing option for event professionals looking to change the look and feel of their attendee badges.

FEATURED VENUE: SPACE IN THE RAW, NYC

Thanks to the top event industry newsletters, a recent move, and the desire for more customizations when it comes to designing events, we present Space in the Raw. By turning “vacancies into visions,” the company repurposes underutilized spaces for events, film production, temporary office space, and more.

Standing in as a main venue contact, the group prepares contracts, permits and insurance, and other details to streamline venue finding for eventprofs. Although you can see the spaces as a completely “blank canvas” on their site, it’s impressive to see how they’ve undergone transformations after the magical touch of an event professional:

FEATURED #EVENTTECH: BUZZMASTER

An event app that Boomset was able to experience firsthand, Buzzmaster took audience polling and entertainment to another level at the recent #LiveMeeting16 event in Amsterdam. The technology presents itself as an ultra-filter and communicator between speaker(s) and audience, where attendees can write comments, questions, or vote according to a presentation.

The platform works as a voting tool across its own WiFi hotspot that attendees connect to using their personal mobile devices, while a “BuzzMaster” is near the stage, filtering and organizing questions, answers, and feedback.

It’s event technology that creates energy - “buzz” - and invites everyone to participate in the room or at the event, includes participant/speaker names which are displayed on the event screen(s). It’s possible to add branding, customizing on-screen presentations and polls to match an event’s branding or theme.
