Seminar Planning - The Green Seminar

There is a a lot of interest today in having "green" events. If you are interested in making your seminar earth friendly, incorporate some of these ideas when planning your next seminar:

  • Select a location that is close to where most attendees live to minimize the use of fuel consumption.

  • Use recycled paper for marketing material, invitations and handouts.

  • Eliminate paper handouts entirely. Instead, post presentations on the web, e-mail them after the event or give out CDs and flash drives with the information loaded.

  • Serve organic foods.

  • Make signage that can be reused at future seminars.

  • Use re-usable name tags and collect them at the end of the seminar.

  • Use cloths to cover tables instead of disposable paper or vinyl.

Your audience will appreciate your efforts to protect the environment.
