Most trade stands have internet access, so why not just have them email you/email yourself links to their information online. We always amass tons of paper leaflets at conference, and I don't know about others, but I rarely go back and read through them (unless my plane is delayed and I get bored).Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312389224685100245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5130192077816327997.post-36785603295190835942008-03-12T14:56:00.000+13:002008-03-12T14:56:00.000+13:00How about making conference bags (and their conten...How about making conference bags (and their contents) an option that people can choose not to receive on the registration form? <BR/><BR/>Or (and?) using recyled paper and vegetable inks for the conference book etc, and have recyling bins around the venue.Courtney Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465703476413455843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5130192077816327997.post-81064038130461676432008-03-06T21:47:00.000+13:002008-03-06T21:47:00.000+13:00For a greener (and cheaper!) conference, how about...For a greener (and cheaper!) conference, how about 100% vegan catering? The meat eaters probably wouldn't notice & the vegetarians would love you forever. Vegan food at past LIANZA conferences has been horrible and nutritionally inadequate (e.g. a plate of green salad) - speaking for myself, proper vegan food would keep me at the conference venue during lunch breaks and full of energy for the afternoon sessions.<BR/><BR/>(Why is veganism green? The UN says <A HREF="http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0120-20.htm" REL="nofollow">"The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global."</A> Eating vegan has more positive impact on carbon emissions than driving a hybrid car.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
