Carina Jandt

Working with high profile clients at experiential marketing agencies, Carina has worked on projects ranging from 30 to 30,000 attendees. Through her work Carina has witnessed first hand the growing desire for her clients to become more sustainable. On the flip side, during the 10 years as a technical production manager, she would also see all the items that were sent into skips and off to landfill. Over the years of volunteering, she quickly noticed the increasing demand for donations with charities and felt that there was a need to combine the two. Her venture Event Cycle does just that - helping the event industry implement practical solutions to sustainability challenges while creating a positive social impact and a lasting legacy. Growing from strength to strength, Event Cycle has worked with projects such as COP26, the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games or as part of the Olympics. Carina and the team worked to plan charitable donations of necessary materials leftover were in place before the events took place, allowing the story to be shared ahead of and during the event, creating lasting social legacies. She hopes to be able to support the events industry in the transition into a more circular economy and to help those most in need in the process.
