The Green&Blue Festival wins the Best Event Award Italy and second place at the BEA World

The Green&Blue Festivalthe GEDI content hub dedicated to the environment and sustainability, won first place at the Best Event Award (BEA), the most important exhibition in Italy and in the world dedicated to the community of events and live communication. The Festival, which took place on 5 and 6 June 2022 at the Bagni Misteriosi in Milan, won first prize at the BEA Italia in the “Best Green/Sustainable Event” category, and second place at the BEA World international event in the same category.

A result that rewards the organization of a festival conceived and produced by implementing solutions aimed at reducing the environmental impact, maintaining the high quality of the event and contributing through the many interventions on stage to dialogue and awareness on the theme of climate change . The Green&Blue Festival, with the production of Plan B, involved 120 speakers, 4,000 visitors, over 16 hours of live streaming and editorial coverage that reached 26.5 million contacts over the two days of the event.

Riccardo Luna, director of Green&Blue and curator of the event, commented as follows: “Another way of organizing events is not only possible, it is also a duty by now. It is possible to create them respecting the environment, designing them in such a way as to minimize resources and foresee their reuse, eliminating plastic and reducing polluting emissions. And the beauty is that all these “subtractions” ultimately produce a better event. The 2022 Green&Blue Festival was not a goal, but it is the first stage of a journey that we intend to continue convinced that there will be more and more those who will make the same choice. Festivals are important, they are a fundamental moment of meeting, discussion and culture: it is essential that they transmit a culture of sustainability not only in speeches from the stage”.
