Why we are here
We empower event organisers to create positive experiences without negative impacts.
Your time and our planet's resources are precious. We don't want you to waste either. Our platform acts as the common ground where anyone in the industry can connect and empower one another to be more sustainable. Realise true event sustainability and deliver it with none of the usual stress.
Embody your sustainability message throughout your entire organisation and do it without sacrificing quality or convenience. Legacy provides you with the tools, information and inspiration to make better decisions faster.
Why we are different
We defy the norm.
We offer sustainability without compromising quality. We help guide you to your goals without guilt or judgement. We provide accurate data without the dryness of scientific papers. We defy the norms of both the events industry and the environmental crowd.
Our down to earth, data-driven approach to sustainability means we're not your typical environmentalists. The speed and simplicity we bring to the buying process through automation, instant payment and upfront pricing, completely disrupts the events industry.
The triad of a speedy sourcing process, sustainable solutions and collective expertise all in one place is nothing short of a revolution.

We're leading the change.
