Sustainable Event Planning in Higher Education: Share Your Green Initiatives! 🌿
As higher education institutions increasingly prioritize environmental responsibility, sustainable event planning has become crucial to campus events. Colleges and universities focus on implementing eco-friendly practices that demonstrate their commitment to sustainability while creating engaging experiences.
Recent studies show that 85% of event attendees prefer or strongly prefer attending conferences with sustainable practices. To support this growing focus on environmental responsibility, we'd love to hear how your institution makes events more sustainable! Learn more about Creating Sustainable Events in our blog. Here are some key areas where higher education institutions are making an impact:
Digital Solutions Implementation:
• Using online registration and the Cvent platform for paperless invitations
• Utilizing the Attendee Hub Event App for digital agendas and floor plans
• Implementing digital check-in processes instead of paper attendance lists
Food and Beverage Sustainability:
• Choosing locally produced seasonal food
• Reducing beef options to lower greenhouse gas emissions
• Partnering with food banks for leftover donations
• Using reusable or biodegradable containers instead of individually packaged items
Here are a few questions to get the conversation started:
• What innovative sustainable practices have you implemented at your campus events?
• Which technology solutions have effectively reduced your campus events' environmental footprint?
Let's share our experiences and insights to help each other improve sustainability in education events!
