On top of this there were  visits to a waste sorting centre and a 'waste to energy' plant in Bonn - and a gala dinner for delegates in Bonn!

This year's Green Events Europe conference has put the music industry's green efforts at the heart of the move to a sustainable future. With an amazing collection of high profile and expert speakers and panellists, and informed delegates from across Europe, Green Events Europe offered real practical advice on moving to a lower carbon future. Climate change is effecting all of us, and the live events industry is not immune to this - we have already had two serious weather related tragedies in 2011 in the USA and Belgium, and we now all need to work together to adopt environmentally friendly practices. Green Events Europe was the place to learn and exchange ideas on green events in the autumn of 2011.
