IBTM – Meet the moment
Welcome to IBTM World.
Now, be YOU!
At IBTM World, everyone belongs. RX cultivates a culture of inclusion at all of our events, where the very things that make each of us unique are celebrated. Our exhibitors, attendees, partners and event colleagues are people from a wide variety of backgrounds, who make our shows stronger, and our collective experience richer.
Decarbonising the Events Industry—Together
At RX, sustainability isn’t just a priority—it’s a responsibility. As founding members of the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative, we’re committed to leading the transition to a low-carbon future across our business, our shows, and the wider events industry.
Our goal is to achieve Net Zero by 2040, with a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. We’re taking science-based action—embedding sustainability into every stage of event planning and delivery.
We’ve outlined a pathway to Net Zero, with defined milestones for all RX events. But we know we can’t do it alone. The complexity of our supply chain and the emissions associated with live events mean that meaningful change depends on collective action.
That’s why we’re building a global community of net zero champions—working together to reduce our impact and create a more sustainable future for the events industry.
