People these days are actively researching ways to make more environmental friendly choices in their lives. Even in our very own business events industry, potential conference attendees will evaluate all the options and make a conscious choice to spend their time and money on more sustainable events. By choosing a more sustainable conference, attendees feel more comfortable and confident throughout the whole experience.
