Formation of Body for Sustainability in Events Production
This presentation will present a progress report in establishment of a body to specifically drive sustainability in events production and event suppliers across Australia.
Whether an event is commercial (eg big sporting event or rock festival), corporate, or community, they all have a clear need to absorb the experience and standards emerging from leading Australian events that have been walking the eco-talk for many years (mostly festivals). How will we document, frame-work, bench-mark and market all this?

.Dominic Gilligan
From 2002 to 2005 Dom led the holistic design & implementation of sustainability for the Sustainable Festival (this one) which has led to a deeper understanding of organisational design (for sustainability) and Natural Systems Emulation.
He runs THE ECO PRACTICE, a sustainability micro-enterprise based on the South Gippsland coast, which provides ecological design and learning services, whilst passionately and creatively walking the eco-talk in its operations. Dominic has a background in the sciences, performing arts, domestic and community building construction, revegetation, horticulture and permaculture design.
