MembershipBS 8901 Implementation Workshops
One-day introductory seminars.
Two-day implementation workshops.
BS 8901 is a major new standard which specifies the requirements for a sustainable event management system and has been designed to help those who deliver events to rethink their practices and to create a more sustainable way of doing things.
With major clients referring to BS 8901 in their tender documents, we are encouraging PLASA Members who work in the events sector (particularly service providers and events specialists) to participate in one of our workshops and to become BS 8901 certified. The work will also have an international relevance as BS 8901 is currently being developed into the international standard ISO 20121 which is expected to be launched in the first half of 2012.
The course is split into two strands - a one-day overview course followed by the option to take a two-day implementation workshop.
Understanding BS 8901 Course - Introductory Seminar
This one-day course is designed to provide members with a working knowledge of the concept of sustainability, the updated version of BS 8901 and their relation to event management. If they wish to do so, they can then go on to take the two-day implementation workshop.

Implementing BS 8901 Workshop
This two-day workshop is designed to provide delegates with the expertise that will enable them to design, install and maintain a management system that not only meets the requirement of the standard, but also delivers measurable benefits from Day One.
