Reducing the consumption of scarce resources can be the pragmatic choice for businesses. First, it helps businesses reduce the costs needed to sustain their operations. Second, telling people about their commitment to protecting the planet is an excellent means for building up the businesses' brands. Since business conferences entail spreading information about the hosts through their attendees, choosing to host sustainable business conferences can help them become more appealing to potential customers.
Here are some simple suggestions for hosting a sustainable conference at a business conference centre:
• Consider eliminating the usage of paper for the conference. For example, instead of sending out printed advertisements to potential attendees, consider using electronic counterparts such as email, e-newsletters, and social media sites. Furthermore, rather than provide the attendees with printed handouts of conference material, post it on the Web for their perusal. In fact, making the material suitable for viewing on mobile devices can help make the lives of attendees that much easier, while also providing the hosts with presentation methods not possible with printed handouts.
• Teleconferencing cannot replace the personal interaction between people attending a conference, but it can supplement it. Giving attendees the choice of teleconferencing helps to eliminate their transportation costs, while also boosting the number of attendees participating in the conference.
• On a related note, businesses should consider providing transportation to the business conference facilities that is efficient about its emissions. Examples can include a number of services ranging from public transportation to taxi companies that use efficient vehicles.
• Consult the staff at the business conference centre about methods with which to reduce consumption. Examples include but are not limited to using non-disposable utensils, providing menus made using local foods, and providing convenient receptacles for recyclable waste.
• Get attendees to participate by encouraging them to recycle and be efficient with their energy usage. After all, sustainable conferences are useless for marketing purposes unless their hosts spend the time to tell their guests about their intentions.
