Here's how you can help

Regardless of your role at The International WorkBoat Show – as an attendee, exhibitor, or speaker – there are measures you can adopt to contribute to the promotion of sustainability throughout our event.

Plan your Travel & Commute Efficiently: Coordinate travel plans with colleagues to allow for group transportation when possible.
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: While there are many steps you can take to reduce 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
