Inside the Evolution of Sustainable Business

Smart Start Radio: Fuel for the Purpose Generation of Meeting Planners

Let us know what you think! What do you want to hear about?

In the latest episode of Smart Start Radio, Eming and Sara chat with sustainability experts in two segments.
First up is Leor Rotchild, a speaker, podcaster, sustainable business consultant and the author of the recently published all star-guide to How We Gather Matters: Sustainable Event Planning for Purpose and Impact. Leor tells us about his journey of becoming a sustainable business expert, his book and the enormous potential the events industry has to make a massive difference in creating a more sustainable world.
Next come two pioneers of regenerative tourism: Melissa Radu, executive director of destination stewardship at Explore Edmonton, and Alexis Kereluk, co-founder of ConnectSeven Group. Together, they created a regenerative tourism strategy that transformed the city of Edmonton for the better, and now, they're on a mission to inspire other destinations to do the same. Are you wondering what "regenerative tourism" even means? Don't worry. We were too. Luckily, Radu and Kereluk broke it down (spoiler alert: it's pretty awesome).
Want to learn about how you can be a more #sustainablemeetingprof? Or, for that matter, a more sustainable traveler? A more sustainable human?
