I felt fully prepared for the event, knowing the team had thought of everything!” Rachael Baker, Social Value Coordinator, Bristol City Leap

ENVIRONMENTAL KEYWORDS NETWALKING MARCH 2024 Future Leap organised two events in one day for the University of Bristol, focused on exploring perceptions of environmental terms and sustainability/the climate emergency. Future Leap collaborated closely with the university to meet their specific requirements, handling logistical planning, setup, operation, and pack down. The first event, a sold-out Netwalking session, took place in a green urban space, followed by indoor focus group discussions and lunch. Future Leap managed ticketing for the open-to-all event, overseeing the ticketing platform as well. The second event was a private roundtable for communications professionals, with Future Leap creating the guest list and managing invitations. The events team also handled logistical planning, managing slides and AV operations, and utilised an interactive audience tool called mentimeter.

EVENT FEEDBACK “As academics seeking to co-create research with representatives from Bristol’s green business community, Future Leap proved to be an invaluable ally and partner. Future Leap was open, professional and positive to our partnership proposal and subsequently offered clear and effective co-management for the two workshop events we ran in March 2024. Both events worked extremely well with maximum take up, thanks to the quality of Future Leap’s communications and depth of their existing networks.” Dr Claire Cox, Senior Research Associate, Environmental Keywords, University of Bristol
