The proposed conference will broadly examine the current practices of the production industry and look at how companies and organisations can take steps to minimise the carbon footprint of staging shows, supplying and touring equipment, catering for audiences, etc. The event will draw on the expertise of the team at The Eden Project, the popular tourist attraction in the South West of England, whose environmental policies underpin a series of 'green' gigs at the venue.
At this stage, PLASA is gauging the level of interest in such an event, so we want to hear from everyone in the industry who would like to be involved. If you would like to learn more about how you can help, or if you already have practices and policies in place which you think others could learn from, then please get in touch.
See the November issue of Lighting&Sound International magazine for further information on the Eden Project's Eden Sessions gigs, and contact the e-mail address below to register your interest in the proposed conference event.
