April 22 is EARTH DAY and in recognition of that, the Campus Center & Event Services Office would like to share with you 5 easy GREEN MEETING tips that you can incorporate into your next event:

GREEN MEETING TIP NUMBER 1
Make the entire online registration process paperless

Online registration software completely eliminates the need to produce paper event marketing materials or registration forms. Gas guzzling shipping and waiting times are things of the past when you have dynamic, custom designed registration websites that are available 24/7/365.

GREEN MEETING TIP NUMBER 2
Encourage reusable water containers

You can keep tons of individual water bottles from crowding up landfills and even save on the energy that would be used to recycle them by encouraging reusable water containers. Give attendees an eco-friendly drinking container or logo mug at registration that can be refilled at water stations located throughout your event.
