#EventPlannersTalk round-up: interactive workshop about values in the events industry

#EventPlannersTalk values events industry 1

What if there were a set of values that acted as a code of conduct between event professionals? Could this improve the industry by offering guidance around negotiations? These were just some of the questions under discussion at the #EventPlannersTalk live event on 31 May 2017 which took place in both London and Frankfurt.

In 2016, with the aim of improving values and ethics across the event industry WerteFoundation developed The Kodex, which serves as a code of practice for stakeholders including customers, employees, competitors and suppliers. The code aims to encourage a long term vision around the improvement of the event industry and the success of it’s reputation by reducing conflict or misunderstanding in business procedures.

The key 7 values of The Codex are honesty, loyalty, courage, respect, vision, responsibility and reliability.
