Be Green - Philly Chapter Meeting Evening of April 9th!

Don't let Green Make You See Red. "Green" is one of the most discussed topics in our industry today. In this session, an industry advocate will discuss and educate participants regarding the types of environmental-related requests proposed in the industry as they relate to meetings and events. Contract terms and provisions will be included as it relates to those provisions. Discussion will also encompass the legal and risk related aspects of certain requests and the corresponding cost analysis.

Objectives:
• Educate participants on the most common environmental-related requests for meetings and events.
• Educate participants regarding the availability of green initiatives at facilities and the challenges to the facility to attempt to comply with certain requests, including the evaluation of cost and capabilities to achieve "greenness" now and in the future.
• Educate participants regarding legalities of certain environmentally based requests as it relates to meetings.
