Sustainability

Below are some examples of the steps already being taken today:

Going Paperless

We are committed to reducing paper waste by maximising the use of digital solutions:

• Utilising the venue’s digital options and existing signage
• Printing materials without specific years to enable future reuse
• Expanding our event App to replace traditional programme books
• Using E-Posters instead of printed materials
• Minimising printed materials distributed on-site

Sustainable Catering

We are taking steps to ensure responsible food and beverage practices:

• Water fountains placed throughout the Exhibition area to reduce bottled water waste
• Donating leftover food to shelters and food banks

Greener Travel & Transport

We encourage sustainable travel choices:

• Offering a virtual congress option to reduce unnecessary travel
• Providing free public transportation passes to attendees

Eco-Friendly Venue & Waste Management

We are improving waste reduction and recycling:

• Clearly labelled recycling and compost bins throughout the venue
• Waste separation, including bag inserts and general waste streams

Recycling & Reuse

We prioritise reusability and biodegradable materials:

• Using biodegradable congress bags
• Repurposing booth materials for future congresses
• Adopting printed, non-laminated congress badges without plastic holders

Sustainability in Our Office

Our commitment extends beyond the congress itself:

• Digital document management and administration to reduce paper use
• Staff use of reusable water bottles
• Opportunities to work from home and cut down on commuting

By making these conscious choices, we aim to create a more sustainable and responsible congress experience. Join us in our efforts to protect the planet!
