S6091 Half-Day Workshop:
Sustainable Exhibitions and Events
The events industry has historically been responsible for large quantities of waste to landfill and having significant carbon footprint. In the current climate, sustainable business conduct is paramount for long-term success and the preservation of the exhibitions industry. Many event organizers and their supply chain have signed the Net Zero Carbon Event pledge. More exhibitors are querying the Scope 3 emissions and carbon footprint of their exhibits and what can be done to reduce the environmental impact. Interested in being a more sustainable exhibitor? Attend this workshop and learn:
 •  The standards EDPA (Experiential Designers and Producers Association) and ESCA (Exhibition Services and Contractors Association) are creating
 •  The Events Industry Council Sustainable Event Standards for exhibit suppliers
 •  A case study on the carbon footprint of Maritz' exhibiting at the IMEX America show
 •  How to set the Boundaries of your exhibiting GHG Scope 3 emissions
 •  What to look for from your supply chain
 •  How to be a more sustainable exhibitor
 •  How to reduce the carbon footprint of your exhibit
As part of this workshop, you will create drafts of a Sustainability: Policy, Pledge, Plan with achievable goals, Statement of Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity, list of Scope 3 upstream and downstream boundaries and data points for a Carbon Footprint Measurement.
CTSM Candidates with 5 or more years of experience may take this session in place of certain five-digit required sessions, with prior approval.
