Sustainability Initiatives

Digital Event Agenda

In lieu of distributing a printed agenda at the live event in Philadelphia, we will deliver an environmentally-friendly digital agenda through our all-new ConnectMe app. 

Lanyards & Name Tags

We will be using a TerraCycle Zero Waste Box to recycle used lanyards and nametags after the event.

Renewable Energy

This year our event will be fully powered by Renewable Energy.

Our 'Better Stands' Approach

Through our commitment to the evolution of the exhibitions industry, we aim to ensure that we are delivering the best possible experience for our customers. We believe that by moving away from the use of disposable exhibition booths we will improve the ease, quality, safety and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at our events. We aim to further minimize exhibition waste by removing carpet in our aisles, using digital signage options as much as possible or using eco cardboard. Finally, encouraging our exhibitors to minimize handouts by utilizing our digital download QR code technology at their booths.

Mighty Writers On-Site Activity

We are partnering in sustainability with a local non-profit, Mighty Writers. Mighty Writers is a free afterschool program focused exclusively on teaching children in underserved communities how to think and write with clarity. To support this noble effort, please join in creating learning kits full of supplies for Mighty Writers during our afternoon networking break on February 27th at 2pm
