Organising your event

Recycling
Recycle conference brochures, printed pages, name badges, and other promotional material. Inkjet cartridges used before and during the event can be recycled, with the resulting £1 donation for each going to selected wildlife good causes and the Woodland Trust as well as dozens of other good causes. Another recycling option, both for inkjets and mobile telephones, is www.greensource.co.uk.

Even better, you can keep your production of materials down to a minimum by producing your delegate pack online. The Conference People can upload all of your speaker presentations to your bespoke event website so delegates can view them any time after the event.

Recycled products can be used throughout the conference: labels, pencils, marker pens, paper, mouse mats, clipboards etc.

Inspirational Speakers
Invite an environmentalist to speak at the event in order to highlight conservation challenges and successes. Such case-studies inevitably embrace relevant issues of leadership, management and motivation. The Conference People can recommend an appropriate expert. Celebrity CSR presenters could include Zac Goldsmith, Jonathan Porrit, Lewis Gordon Pugh or Jessica Sansom.

Exhibitions
The Conference People can assist you when planning specialist exhibitions alongside a congress for a greener outcome. Tips include: be committed to waste removal and recycling; encourage exhibitors to acquire re-useable stands and use a design style and graphics with longer-lasting appeal; encourage suppliers to adopt green policies; use low-energy lighting; discourage the use of brochures and also giveaways that are environmentally unsound.

An estimate suggests that the UK exhibition industry is responsible for one million tonnes of waste annually. Contact us today and we’ll help you make a difference.
