Things were a lot different 70 years ago. The year was 1949, and the events industry was just starting to emerge. That February, four organisations gathered to discuss issues around "group business," and created the Convention Liaison Committee (CLC) as a means to develop a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges involved with group business meetings at hotels. What started as a means to streamline processes regarding meeting planning among hotel and trade executives soon became an organisation that represented and trained thousands of people across the world. On 3 February 2019, the industry will be celebrating 70 years of leadership through the Events Industry Council. While it has been known by many a name, over the past 70 years its mission remained the same: helping businesses and organisations design and host great events, and establishing high quality best practices for people around the world.

Representatives of global events, tourism and sustainability bodies are ushering in the new year with the unprecedented launch of four principles designed to guide and motivate event organisers worldwide to embrace and implement sustainable practices. This multi-stakeholder group, convened by the Events Industry Council (EIC) through two forums held during IMEX in both Frankfurt and Las Vegas, agreed the focus of sustainable events would be on shared responsibility for implementation and communication, identification of the basic environmental practices and key social considerations and pathways to support thriving economic practices. The Principles for Sustainable Events encourage organisations and practitioners to adopt practices that foster collaboration with a simple and powerful message: by working together, event planners and suppliers can support a healthy natural environment, resilient communities and culture, and thriving economies.
