Events have always shaped the places that host them, for better or worse. The question is no longer whether events leave a mark, but what kind of mark they leave, and for how long.

This masterclass is about intentionally designing events that create long-term impact for participants and host communities alike.

Learn how to:

  • Move from a sustainability viewpoint to a regenerative approach to event management.

  • Apply Hannuwa, GDS-Movement's own regenerative event management methodology.

  • Draw on presentations and case studies from leading event sustainability practitioners at global agencies, corporates, and associations.

  • Present your own regenerative event plan for structured feedback from peers and faculty.

What will you learn at this course?

The Course is structured around four modules:

    1. Gain a foundational understanding of regenerative business principles, from circular economy to biomimicry and Living Systems thinking, and get inspired by best practice from outside the events industry.

    1. Learn how to use the Hannuwa methodology to redesign and implement events that deliver greater positive impact, and build your expertise in stakeholder engagement, operational implementation, and storytelling that inspires action.

    1. Delve deeper into best practice through real case studies, and develop your skills in legacy visioning, impact strategy, and measurement.

    1. Present your own regenerative events strategy and action plan to the group, and receive strategic coaching from peers and faculty on how to message your sustainability efforts, alongside tactics, targets, and creative execution.

Who is this course for?
