Sustainability: Green Meetings Measurement

Wed. September 25, 2013
Going green by offering sustainable meetings is an admirable cause in itself, but, as the saying goes, if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to see it, did it really fall? Meeting planners need to arm themselves with the tools to measure the results of their green meetings, to constantly improve and also to demonstrate their success to organizational leaders and the community in general. Join Meetings Focus and Mariela McIlwraith, president of Meeting Change, for this free one-hour webinar, and learn how you can measure your sustainability successes!
