How We Gather Matters

Grow your audience, shrink your footprint, change the world.

Leor Rotchild’s new book How We Gather Matters is an invitation to reimagine events as the most powerful platform for profound societal change.

The book is equal parts practical guide and collection of engaging, behind-the-scenes stories from major events around the world to help you plan future events that are more purposeful, inclusive, and sustainable.

How We Gather Matters is essential reading for event professionals and anyone who wants to gain a clearer understanding of the challenges associated with reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste, while expanding social impact, diversity, and inclusion opportunities.

Praise for How We Gather Matters

“Leor has beautifully crafted a page-turner in sustainable event management! Centered on the big issues of circularity, climate change impact, and purchasing, his easy-to-read storytelling approach is thought-provoking and inspiring. After reading this book, event managers will be eager to rush back to work and apply their creative problem-solving skills to sustainability.”

— Meegan Jones, author, Sustainable Event Management: A Practical Guide, and director, Institute for Sustainable Events

“Most hosts don’t take action to make their events sustainable because of the time and expertise required, but Leor has done the work for us. This book needs to be on the desk of anyone considering themselves a professional event producer, or who wants to be sustainable and responsible hosting their next event. A sustainable event is a step in the “everything, everywhere” action called upon by the UN – let this book be your guide to your next step.”

— Natalie Lowe, CMM, CRL, Owner, Celebrate Niagara, Founder of The Sustainable Events Forum, Events Industry Council winner for social impact, Inductee in the Canadian Meetings and Events Hall of Fame
