Event Industry must Spearhead Environmentally Sustainable Events
We are a
massive country in terms of population, industries, vehicular traffic, Building

Advertising budgets, Branding ideas all in house. Events even get the eyeballs
at their doorstep. Here is an opportunity for the Event Industry to be a role
model for others.
