I-DEST for sustainable events

One of the unique features of the I-DEST program is the evaluation of supplier sustainability. The system analyzes the environmental and social impacts of suppliers, such as the transportation distances of raw materials, waste management practices, and material usage. Using the index scores available in the database, organizers can select more sustainable suppliers based on the collected data, optimizing the ecological footprint of their events. This not only enables environmentally conscious decision-making but also offers cost-effective solutions in the long term.

With I-DEST, the sustainability metrics of event venues can also be measured and evaluated. Built on GSTC standards, the system assesses key factors such as energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources, water consumption, and recycling practices. Additionally, it places special emphasis on accessibility, ensuring that venues are inclusive and enjoyable for all participants.

Using a unique guest questionnaire, each attendee can calculate the sustainability index of their travel, starting from the choice of transportation to accommodation, meals outside the event, leisure activities, and more. This tool allows them to evaluate how different alternatives impact the sustainability level of their journey.

Based on this data, organizers can implement solutions that encourage environmentally conscious participation, such as highlighting public transportation options.

The I-DEST system goes beyond traditional event management software by offering advanced features, such as an interactive route planner designed for accessible journeys, immersive virtual tours with 360-degree images, audio guides, and engaging AR content.

The program places a strong emphasis on supporting inclusive tourism. Its filtering systems and accessible platform provide suitable information for all guests, aligning perfectly with the principles of inclusive event planning. This approach creates an environment where everyone, regardless of background or abilities, can fully enjoy the event without encountering barriers.

One of the key advantages of the I-DEST program is its integrated indicator system, which enables organizers to conduct fast and accurate sustainability analyses at any stage of event planning. This feature is particularly valuable during the planning, preparation, and execution phases, as it provides real-time data on the event’s sustainability level. The system evaluates the environmental, social, and economic impacts of various decisions, such as supplier selection, venue sustainability features, or even guests' modes of transportation.

Additionally, I-DEST allows for alternative analyses, enabling organizers to compare the sustainability metrics of different options and choose those that deliver the best results. For example, the automated system can assess how selecting a local supplier might reduce the event's carbon footprint or how a hybrid event format could minimize travel burdens.

These tools not only ensure transparency but also significantly enhance decision-making, helping organizers create more sustainable, efficient, and successful events.
