At MAD Events, we believe that sustainability is the future of event planning. Our mission is to educate and empower individuals and organizations to integrate sustainable practices into their events, creating experiences that are not only memorable but also environmentally responsible.
We launched the Sustainable Events Summit in 2023 alongside the Nest Climate Campus in NYC. This invitation-only, think tank style meeting brings together industry professionals to learn, share, and innovate in the field of sustainable event management.
Thank you to all who joined us at the Javits Center, NYC, on September 24, 2024 and became part of a community dedicated to making a difference. Together we can create events that inspire change and promote a sustainable future.
Respectfully,
Martha Donato, President & Founder
