Our approach
As an independent body founded by events professionals and industry leaders, isla is an action-driven network. We bring together expertise from across the entire events sector and empower your teams with the confidence, knowledge, and resources needed to confidently and consistently deliver sustainable events.
Our focus is in three core areas: funding the transition, enabling decarbonisation, and restoring and regenerating nature.
Through facilitation, education and reporting we will share knowledge, up-skill the industry and track our progress in order to rapidly and measurably affect change across our industry.
