The University also has a thriving community of sustainability advocates throughout the institution and collaboration can help you achieve greater outcomes and allow your events to reach a larger audience.
Procurement
Where you decide to procure goods and services for your events, consider local options where possible. This will not only reduce the environmental impacts associated with travel and transport, but also allows the University to enhance its positive impact on the local community and foster greater relationships with our neighbours.
In-house partners
Across the University there are a wide variety of departments, faculties and student organisations putting on events with sustainability at their core. The University's Corporate Events Team plans, manages and delivers University events that are strategically important to the University, where specific University aims and objectives need to be met and where networking and relationship building/development can be facilitated for future mutual benefit. The Conferences and Events team provide a comprehensive event management service to help with delegate registration, payment management, accommodation bookings and onsite logistics for the duration of your event. Seek out opportunities to share best practice and collaborate on marketing opportunities to support each other’s aims. There may even be opportunities to host joint events, providing the chance to increase your audience and pool resources to reduce impacts.
Local partnerships
Merseyside is host to a range of businesses, groups and organisations that are involved in new and exciting opportunities, or that may be looking for to share and gain support, ideas and contacts. Making positive partnerships with people in our community is a great way to achieve mutually beneficial goals and champion what we do at the University.
