“Google calendar/outlook calendar – how I stay organized! Never underestimate the power of a well-organized calendar and time blocking.”

Morganne Sigismonti got her start in the live industry in the summer of 2022 as a Zero Waste Captain with Live Nation’s North Island Credit Union Amphitheater team in San Diego. The role saw her collaborating with the waste management team to implement sustainability initiatives for the summer concert season. “This was where I first saw firsthand just how much waste a single concert can produce — and it got me excited about a future where I could help reduce that impact,” she says. In April she became the Sustainability Program Manager at Honeycomb Strategies, which helps trade shows, conferences, venues and organizations identify solutions, develop data management systems and implement programs to measure impact.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS OVER THE LAST YEAR
“This year I hosted my first panel as a moderator at the Music Sustainability Summit, leading a conversation called ‘Zero Waste & Circularity: Cleaner Shows & Smarter Systems’ with industry leaders tackling waste reduction at live events — digging into how they’re building systems to track real progress. I also supported the Music Sustainability Alliance (MSA) in developing guides to help move the industry forward, and joined Honeycomb Strategies as a Sustainability Program Manager, where I now guide sustainable hospitality initiatives at Legends Global venues worldwide.”

ADVANTAGES & CHALLENGES OF BEING A MILLENNIAL
“Our generation grew up learning about the environment and social issues as part of school curriculum — recycling, composting, carbon footprints. We were raised to care about the world around us and to want to make it better. But we also grew up in an era of overconsumption, with access to an abundance of resources here in America that can feel confusing because we know that abundance is part of what’s causing the very problems we’re trying to fix. I think that makes us realists. We know we can make a difference, but we also carry the weight of responsibility for fixing it all in a world that can feel stubbornly hard to change.”

CHANGES SHE’D LIKE TO SEE IN THE BIZ
“I simply want to see the music industry keep becoming more sustainable — across the board. From the physical media that’s produced, to how live events and venues operate, to the impact initiatives artists and organizations put their weight behind. Sustainability shouldn’t be a side project; it should touch every layer of how music gets made and experienced.”
