When working with associations, we've learned the process of ensuring an event is eco-friendly starts long before attendees make their way to the doors. It begins with what is negotiated in transportation and logistics planning. For example, instead of dozens of independent transfers, we consolidate group executive shuttles and EV fleets for large conventions. Pooling routes at an association event in Los Angeles, fuel consumption was cut by just under 35% and the premium experience was still possible. We also work closely with venues to address waste reduction and offset strategies. This involves replacing paper programs with digital signage, sourcing cuisine from local food trucks, and giving registrants the option to select a carbon-offset package when ordering tickets. A lot of associations have sustainability aspirations, but they don't really know the nuts and bolts of how to get there.
