Annual event: Service sustains Future

**Service sustains Future – Successful paths to future viability**

Under this inspiring credo, the annual event of the Styrian Service Cluster took place on Wednesday, 27th November 2024 at FH JOANNEUM in Bad Gleichenberg. 🤩 The entire day was organised as “Green Events Styria”, with a special focus on sustainable planning and implementation in order to familiarise participants with the importance of sustainability. From the journey to the catering, environmentally friendly solutions were used, such as the bus journey, organised by Retter Reisen, or the use of regional products for the catering. 🚌 🥔

Renowned sustainability expert and UAS professor Harald Friedl inspired the audience with a captivating keynote speech. He highlighted the key elements that companies should consider on their path to sustainability and encouraged reflection. 🌍In the subsequent workshops, participants were able to deepen these insights and develop new solutions. 💡

The panel discussion impressively demonstrated that sustainable and positive changes can only be implemented in the long term and step by step. 👣 Trust and target group-specific perspectives were emphasised as key prerequisites for a successful transformation. ☀️

A special highlight was the surprise performance by the versatile artist Albert Tröbinger. 🤹 With a fascinating mix of contact juggling, object manipulation, magic, charm and humour, he caused amazement and laughter and ended the intensive day on a special note. 😀
