How are we building a sustainable event?
We believe a sustainable event focuses on three main aims...

- Considering wellbeing and accessibility
- Creating a positive impact on our host cities and measuring our impacts
Environmental responsibility
GAIM Ops Cayman will be run in an increasingly environmentally responsible manner, focusing on:
- Reducing carbon emissions
- Creating less waste and discouraging giveaways from exhibitor stands and media partners
- Considering sustainability credentials for every item sourced for the event
Sustainable development
Our aim is for GAIM Ops Cayman to promote long-term sustainable development - in the way that we run the event but also in how it's implemented in the market as a whole. We are committing to:
- Using our content to support the sustainability of the investment management market
- Facilitating discussions on pertinent topics including diversity & inclusion, gender balance, sustainability trends, the impact on the environment & more...
