Panel: It’s not easy being green

Sustainable production is a crucial topic featured regularly at both IPM & GEI. The recent hiatus in touring (thanks, coronavirus) has given us a chance to come together on this issue perhaps more than ever before. In this panel, we’ll be asking how difficult it is, in reality, to go green. Taking advantage of our limitless digital space, these two leading conferences, in production and sustainability, will unite to combine their expertise and knowledge.

Does post-Covid recovery mean a reversal of the ever-growing arsenal of production tricks and wizardry? Will the creative use of existing gear until we can get a return on our investments become a reality? Are pre-rigged venues aimed at minimising the crossover between internal crew and touring crew the answer? What has the industry been working on behind the scenes during Covid? How do we differentiate between a delusional product or idea and an honest, realistic, green solution? And… would we all benefit from a Green Production Rider?

All these questions and more will be answered during this joint session. Both IPM and GEI delegates are encouraged to attend.
