ISO 20121 is the international standard for sustainable events management. It specifies how to deliver events that sponsors, clients and attendees will appreciate. Internal auditing allows a company to assess its ISO 20121 framework to make sure it remains compliant, effective and keeps improving.
A compliant ISO 20121 management system has the flexibility to deliver value consistently, despite no two events being the same and each needing a different approach.
This course will show how to maintain conformance with ISO 20121 requirements. Current knowledge about the standard will be reviewed and any gaps closed. The requirements will also be considered in the context of an audit. Learn how to plan, perform and report on internal audits, and understand how these findings can help to improve sustainable events management.
