Sustainability Mandate
Prioritizing sustainability is critical to the PM Springfest team, and parent company Informa Connect, as we understand the environmental impact of the events industry. PM Springfest strives to identify, understand, and address these impacts to achieve continual improvement year after year. Not only are we committed to running our events in an environmentally and socially responsible way, but we also strive to go further and inspire the sustainable development of the industry we serve and the community we foster.
Our Efforts

Diversity & Inclusivity at PM Springfest
For PM Springfest to remain relevant for the next generation of leaders, we must push diversity hard at every turn, changing established thinking.
