🎙️ Behind the Drapes Podcast with Expo Rich

Why Sustainability Works Best When It’s Built From the Inside Out

Recorded live from the EXPO EXPO show floor in Houston, this episode features a meaningful conversation between Expo Rich and Sydney Rhea, CEM, Sustainability Manager at Informa.

Sydney shares her journey into the trade show industry — from planning weddings and galas in New York City, to operations, and eventually into a leadership role driving sustainability strategy across multiple event portfolios.

Together, we explore how sustainability in live events works best when it’s practical, collaborative, and rooted in real operations — not mandates.

🔍 What This Episode Covers

-Finding your way into trade shows through adjacent event experience
-How operational backgrounds create stronger sustainability outcomes
-Why sustainability is a business advantage, not a compliance exercise
-Building momentum through small, achievable changes
-Embedding sustainability into exhibitor behavior, contractor partnerships, and show design
-The importance of collaboration over competition across the industry

Sydney also shares how personal values shaped her professional path — and how becoming a parent deepened her commitment to sustainability in both life and work.

🚀 Looking Ahead
Sydney discusses what’s next for Informa’s sustainability efforts — including transparent reporting on 2025 goals, new 2030 commitments, and broader adoption of initiatives like Better Stands and net zero carbon events.

The future of live events sustainability isn’t about perfection.
It’s about progress, honesty, and collaboration.
