Sustainable planning - this is how it's done!

The search for innovative solutions for Green Events in Berlin begins with the question of what sustainability actually means in practice for event planners and companies.

This means that event organizers are encouraged to use resources responsibly and to pay attention to environmentally friendly and efficient concepts.
