Director of Every Bit Counts, a sustainable events and advisory organisation. A specialist in hospitality and events, Kate’s work empowers councils and organisations to create positive, purposeful events, without the mess, through the art of impactful gathering. She emphasizes the importance of understanding your circle of influence, and hopes to share how you, and event coordinators, can drive change by adopting a zero-tolerance approach to waste, which in turn influences behaviour across the supply chain and among consumers.
Kate is a strong advocate for rethinking the purpose and approach of events, focusing on the opportunity for longer-term positive impact and fostering social inclusion. She joins the panel to share stories of success (and failure!), common oversights, and innovative ideas in creating both small and large-scale, Planet First events.
