Observer Ethical Awards 2012
It’s difficult to believe that we are now running the Observer Ethical Awards for the SEVENTH year! It seems like only yesterday we were waiting excitedly at LSO St Lukes for the first ever ceremony to kick off.
This year we are hoping to receive more entries and nominations than ever before. Our high profile [...]
Looking forward to 2012
Happy new year to all our followers!
After the worldwide shockwave that was 2011 I’m sure we’re all hoping that this year will be a little calmer, but we may well be disappointed. Here in the UK alone we have the Olympic Games, the Queen’s Jubilee, discussion and debate about the future of the United Kingdom [...]
Recent grad? Looking for some experience?
We’re always on the look out for bright sparks who might make a good addition to the Seventeen team. As part of our build up to some of the major projects we’re working on in 2012, we’re now interested in talking to anyone who might be interested in joining us at a junior level, initially [...]

Read moreA rare occurence
The other week I did something extremely unusual… I asked if I could pay a supplier more than they had invoiced me.

My thoughts on the Sustainable Events Summit 2011
I want to say a big thank you once again to all of the delegates who joined us at this year’s Sustainable Events Summmit.

We’re keen to offer as many interested people as possible the opportunity to attend this year’s Sustainable Events Summit, taking place on 13 June at the Barbican Centre, London.
