How Can You Help?

From our attendees, to exhibitors, or speakers, we all can take simple steps to create a more sustainable event.

Plan Your Travel & Commute Efficiently: Coordinate travel plans with colleagues and industry friends to allow for group transportation.
Come Prepared: To help us in our effort to reduce single use plastic and paper items onsite, we encourage all registrants to bring a reusable water bottle or travel mug to the event for water and/or coffee & tea service.
Consider Your Carbon Footprint: Traveling to an event means that carbon emissions will be produced through your means of travel. Purchasing carbon offsets can allow you to compensate for any unavoidable emissions generated by your trip.
