Going Green for Corporate Events: How to Walk it like you Talk it!
Posted by Amanda Desai on Tue, May 03, 2011 @ 03:54 PM
Hey Peeps!
As a part of our preparation for the much anticipated Event Marketing Summit this May, our Team has gotten to blogging about some of the work shops we will be attending and why we feel they are important – and now it’s my turn! Browsing through the agenda and assigning workshops to team members was quite the process – but I think I came out with some winners!
On Tuesday May 17th, I will be attending the workshop entitled: “Corporate Events and Meetings: Walking Green vs. ‘Talking’ Green. The instructor for this session is Thom Casadonte, Head of Global Events for Bloomberg.
I think that this workshop will be interesting and beneficial b
ecause for the past few years one of the biggest trends has been the “going green” movement. I often stop and think that while I hear a lot of talk about it – what does it really mean to go green? Recycled notebooks? LED lights? There are so many products that claim to be the more eco-friendly choice! What I would like to takeaway from this session is the most basic, standard tips to being eco-friendly when planning a corporate event or meeting so I can reduce some of the noise. I hope Thom can provide me with some solid insight that I can come back and share with my clients.
If you’re attending the event, be sure to follow our team on Twitter! We are looking forward to meeting everyone!
