Driving a shared purpose: uniting the event industry for change
The event industry is a powerful engine for connection, bringing people together for shared experiences that leave lasting impressions. But it’s also an industry with immense potential to drive societal change far beyond the boundaries of individual events. At Slinger, we believe that by uniting as one, the event industry can transform how people travel to and from these shared moments—and ridesharing is at the heart of that transformation.
The reason is clear: transport is often the largest contributor to an event’s carbon footprint, and we want to cut CO2 emissions by encouraging shared rides. This isn’t just about convenience or cost-saving; it’s about sustainability and taking real action to protect the planet.
Why collective action matters
As more events join the ride sharing movement, the momentum grows. It’s about creating a consistent experience for attendees, no matter the type of event, and making ride sharing a seamless part of their journey.
Consistency drives change
When ride sharing becomes a universal offering across events, it becomes second nature for attendees. They know they’ll have reliable options, whether they’re heading to a concert, a sports match, or a conference.
A shared commitment to sustainability
Transportation is often the biggest contributor to an event’s carbon footprint. By working together, the event industry can collectively reduce emissions, showcasing leadership in tackling this critical environmental challenge.
Changing habits through shared experiences
Events are uniquely positioned to influence behavior. Attendees arrive ready to connect, celebrate, and learn. Incorporating ride sharing into the event experience helps shape more sustainable habits in an authentic and memorable way.
Working across sectors
At Slinger, we deliberately work with sports, music and corporate events because we believe in the universal power of events to create change. While each type of event may serve a different audience, they all share the same potential to inspire and drive action.
Sports events inspire shared identity. Fans are passionate, loyal, and deeply connected to their clubs or teams. When these organizations champion sustainability initiatives like ride sharing, their fans are quick to follow suit.
Music festivals foster shared experiences. The journey to a festival is as much a part of the event as the main stage. Ridesharing enhances that journey, transforming it into an opportunity to connect and build excitement before the show even begins.
Corporate events encourage shared progress. Professionals attending these events are naturally inclined toward innovation and efficiency. Ride sharing aligns perfectly with these values, making it a compelling option for these audiences.
By working across these sectors, we’re not just encouraging ride sharing—we’re creating a movement that transcends individual industries and collectively reduces CO2 emissions.
Moving forward together
The event industry thrives on collaboration and connection, and ride sharing is an extension of that spirit. By uniting around this shared goal, we can create an ecosystem where sustainable travel becomes the standard—not just for one event, but for all.
At Slinger, we’re proud to be part of this movement. Our mission is simple: to make ride sharing a natural and impactful part of every event. But the purpose behind it is even more profound—to significantly cut CO2 emissions and help the event industry do its part in combating climate change.
This requires a collective effort from organizers, partners, and attendees. Together, we can reshape how people travel to events, reduce emissions, and create unforgettable experiences along the way.
