Green Meetings

Set an example by making your meeting
sustainable.

Take your meeting or event one step further and set the standard for environmental responsibility. Use the tips below to create your own green meeting.

Materials

Offer electronic advertising, promotion and registration whenever possible.

Provide attendees with electronic versions of the presentations and minimize paper use. If paper use is a must, avoid glossy, fluorescent or goldenrod colored paper. Print with vegetable-based ink.

Use two-sided copying and printing of documents. Avoid duplication. Distribute informational packets to delegates at check-in, not prior.

Catering

Request organic meals that include local, seasonal produce in your catering selections.

Present your delegates with reusable coffee mugs at the start of the conference and ask that they use them. Use reusable rather than disposable place settings. Provide condiment serving containers and not individual packets.

Offer fair-trade, shade-grown organic coffee.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Use collection containers for paper materials and beverage containers in the meeting room and event area. Properly label containers and educate attendees on what can be recycled where. Have exhibitors minimize trash by reusing boxes and packing materials.
