It takes the commitment and actions of every person involved with an event to make it truly sustainable and the first step in achieving this is to communicate effectively the ways and reasons that the event is taking to become more sustainable. Like an organisation, bringing change to an event planning team may be difficult and to overcome these challenges, event organisers need to emphasise the importance and benefits of making their events more sustainable.

To secure the commitment of everyone in the event planning team, the event coordinators should try and ensure that there is sufficient support and information accessible to all those on the team to make it achievable.
