| 5/1/26 |  Talk: How Events Can Cut Food Waste: Measuring, Communication, and Smarter F&B Planning | Food waste remains one of the most persistent—and solvable—challenges facing the events industry. In this Convene Talk episode, the team unpacks Convene’s April cover story on food waste, exploring new research from recent business events, real-world lessons from planners, venues, and chefs, and why communication may be just as important as measurement. From right-sizing portions and rethinking abundance to aligning stakeholders across the entire event lifecycle, this conversation highlights practical strategies that can reduce environmental impact, control costs, and reshape how attendees experience food at meetings and conferences.

| 2/27/26 |  Convene Interview: Convene 4 Climate - Key Takeaways on Collaboration, Measurement, and Industry Transformation | In this episode, we break down the biggest takeaways from Convene 4 Climate — from the growing hunger for collaboration to the need for clearer data, unified standards, and a mindset shift toward innovation‑driven sustainability. Joining the conversation are three leaders helping shape that future: Rachael Riggs, General Manager of Environmental Strategy at Maritz, known for her work in ESG strategy, carbon reporting, and wellbeing‑centered event design; Kit Lykketoft, Director of the Copenhagen Convention Bureau, whose career spans social innovation, city‑level transformation, and advancing sustainable, legacy‑driven events; and Tanya Popeau, PCMA’s Head of Global Sustainability, a former UN advisor with deep expertise in using innovation to drive systemic change. Together, they share what inspired them in Rotterdam — and what the business events industry needs next to translate ambition into meaningful climate action.Mentioned Links:Convene 4 Climate Report: https://convene4climate.org/c4c-report/Sustainability Hub for Events (SHE): https://she.gevme.com/loginFollow Convene:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/pcma-convene/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pcmaconvene/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@pcmaconvene Medium: https://medium.com/@convenemagazine X: https://x.com/pcmaconvene Contact Information: For any questions, reach out to Magdalina Atanassova, matanassova(at)pcma(dot)org.Sponsorships and Partnerships: Reach 36,000 qualified meeting organizers with Convene, the multi-award-winning magazine for the business events industry.
