FLEX November 2023 Breakfast Program: Sustainable Meetings

What are your organization's goals to achieve sustainable meetings? Do your attendees care about sustainability? What does a sustainable meeting mean to you?

A reduction or elimination of plastics? Recycling initiatives? Net carbon neutral? Sustainable food and beverage options? An energy-efficient venue?

One of the largest hospitality companies lists these points in their industry marketing:

• Reduce single-use items and printed collateral
• Alternative food and beverage menu offerings
• Minimize food waste
• Conserving water
• Reducing energy use and carbon emissions

During this interactive conversation, share the feedback you've elicited from members and participants and any obstacles you've encountered.

Hear examples of what your fellow planners are implementing for their events.

Our breakfast sponsor, Destination Toronto, will be raffling a pair of VIP tickets to an upcoming Washington Capitals game, including seats up close and near the ice plus all-inclusive food and beverage service in the VIP Club. Must be present to win.
