You could describe Positive Impact Events as the ‘critical friend’ of the global event sector. Our funding comes from everywhere and nowhere and every penny, cent, yen etc is used to advance the event sector so every time an event happens the UN Sustainable Development Goals are advanced and events are recognised as ensuring 'participation and inclusion in decision making’ (UN SDG16).
