How It Works

From scattered event data to an audit-ready footprint.

Four steps. Your first event baseline can be in place within two weeks.

How event data becomes a number you can defend

  1. Bring in the data you already collect

    Enter data directly, upload it in bulk, or have suppliers submit their own figures through the portal. On Enterprise plans, registration data connects from Cvent, EventsAir or your own platform via API.

  2. Data is structured, not guessed

    Every record is matched to an emissions factor and a category. Where a figure is estimated, the record says so and shows the method used.

  3. Read the footprint by event or portfolio

    One event view for the delivery team, one consolidated view for the program. Same categories, same legend, same numbers.

  4. Export audit-ready reports

    Reporting aligned with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1, with the evidence trail attached to each figure.

Integrations

Works with the tools you already run events on

EventZero sits above your event stack and pulls in the data you already collect.

Your event platform

Open API access connects EventZero to the system where you already manage registrations and attendees like Cvent or EventsAir.

CSV upload

Bring travel, accommodation and logistics data in bulk on a standard template.

Supplier portal

Venues and vendors submit their own data against your event.

Manual entry

Fill any gaps directly in EventZero, with estimates flagged as estimates.

API & webhooks

Build EventZero data into your own workflows and internal reporting.

Onboarding

What your first two weeks look like

A first event baseline can be in place within two weeks. The free trial covers the core platform: direct data entry, automated calculations and your event dashboard.

  1. Day 1

    Set up your event

    Create your event profile, including event type, scale and the emissions categories that apply. No lengthy configuration.

  2. Days 2 and 3

    Add your data

    Enter your event data directly across the seven emissions categories. Loading last year's completed event gives you a baseline to measure against. On paid plans, suppliers submit their own figures through the portal, and larger data sets upload in bulk.

  3. Week 1

    See your first baseline

    EventZero applies current international emissions factors and returns a structured Scope 1, 2 and 3 baseline for your event, with estimates flagged as estimates.

  4. Week 2

    Review your results

    Your event dashboard shows which categories drive your footprint. On Professional and above, AI insights flag your highest-impact reduction opportunities, and you can export a PDF sustainability report.

  5. After the trial

    Scale across your program

    Choose the plan that fits your program. Paid plans add supplier collaboration, bulk uploads and, on Enterprise, platform integrations. Apply the same method to every event, so your footprint stays comparable year over year.
