Honeycomb Strategies Helps Launch ‘Venue Sustainalytics’
Venue Sustainalytics: Industry-First Sustainability Benchmarking Platform for Venues
We’re proud to announce the launch of Venue Sustainalytics, a groundbreaking initiative developed in partnership with the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) and Trade Show News Network (TSNN). This first-of-its-kind sustainability benchmarking and data intelligence platform is designed to support venues and event organizers in making measurable, transparent progress on their environmental goals.
Launched officially on Earth Day 2025, Venue Sustainalytics sets a new standard for sustainability across convention centers, stadiums, arenas, performing arts centers, and other live event spaces. The platform provides consistent, reliable tools for tracking environmental performance, comparing progress across venues, and recognizing industry leadership in sustainability.
“This initiative is a game changer for both venues and event organizers,” said Lindsay Arell, CEO of Honeycomb Strategies. “It delivers consistent, reliable data that helps track environmental impact, benchmark progress, and guide smarter, more sustainable decisions.”
As the sustainability lead on this project, Honeycomb Strategies is responsible for platform development, data analysis, and resource development—including educational toolkits, webinars, and case studies to support venue teams at every stage of their sustainability journey.
The Venue Sustainalytics platform will offer:
A user-friendly dashboard for tracking environmental data
A standardized framework for consistent reporting
An annual benchmarking report highlighting industry trends and top performers
A recognition and awards program to celebrate sustainability excellence
This platform fills a long-standing gap in the industry for venue operators who wish tp align operations with their sustainability values and understand industry trends. We’re honored to collaborate with IAVM and TSNN in bringing this vision to life and look forward to supporting venues across the country—and around the world—in setting a higher standard for sustainability.
