We are building a community of engaged industry leaders and visionaries who are committed to sustainability and giving back. Join us in reimaging the way we gather.

We believe that change happens in community. We welcome all to join a growing collective of environmentally & socially-responsible event industry leaders and creatives striving to design more mindful weddings, experiences, & gatherings of all kinds.

Both in our events and through our online education platform, our experiences are designed to deliver a sense of optimism and connection, with tools crafted by designers for designers making sustainability and circular design more accessible for creatives and event planners alike.
