GMIC Seeks Planner Input on Sustainability

The Green Meeting Industry Council (GMIC) is seeking meeting planners to respond to its survey on sustainability to determine current practices that are regularly implemented in meetings and events.

The survey is part of a multi-phase study commissioned by GMIC that is being conducted by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) titled “An Analysis of Corporate Brands: How Corporate Brands Use Live Events to Underscore Sustainability Practices.” Study results will be available in September.

According to GMIC and UNLV, results of the study aim to provide a sustainable events planning benchmark against which firms can compare their own planning, and provide guidance for planners and suppliers for new opportunities in sustainable meetings and events.

GMIC estimates that the survey will take approximately 12-15 minutes to complete. It can be accessed via the following link: https://unlvhospitality.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3I4hif7xfBmTe85.

The sustainability study is being conducted by Dr. Dina Zemke and Dr. Yen-Soon Kim at UNLV, with support from the Las Vegas Sands Corporation and the Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau.
