A new voice is emerging in the events and sustainability space – and it’s already making waves.
John has officially launched Chat’r Box, a thought leadership platform aimed at challenging the status quo, sharing expert insights, and igniting critical conversations around the future of the events and exhibitions industry. With a specific focus on sustainable business practices, Chat’r Box will serve as a dynamic space for reflections, bold ideas, and meaningful industry engagement.
💬 John’s Thoughts – the platform’s first opinion series – debuted this month with a powerful piece featured in the May 2025 issue of Travel News. In the article, John addresses the transformative impact of South Africa’s newly enacted Climate Change Act, outlining what it means for industry stakeholders and why it’s time to embed sustainability into core business models.
🗣️ “The Climate Change Act is a turning point. It signals a new era where sustainability can no longer be a feel-good option for a few passionate green champions. It must become embedded in the way we do business – for all of us.”
With that statement, John positions Chat’r Box not just as a platform but as a call to action — urging peers across the events sector to adapt, innovate, and lead with purpose.
🌍 As environmental regulation tightens and market expectations shift, platforms like Chat’r Box will play a vital role in helping business leaders, event organisers, and service providers navigate the changes ahead.
