Each week, we delve into the realm of artificial intelligence, posing one burning question to three prominent AI programs about the dynamic event industry and having our in-house experts at TPNI evaluate their responses.
We’ve asked three prominent AI programs—ChatGPT by Open AI, Bard from Google, and Bing’s Co-Pilot—our question for this week:
How Can Conferences Be More Sustasinable?
Earlier this week, we asked ChatGPT (check out its answer in Part One!). Today, we asked Bing’s Co-Pilot. Here’s what it said:
Making conferences more sustainable involves a combination of environmental, economic, and social practices. Here are some strategies that can be employed:
- Environmental Sustainability: Safeguard our natural environment and ensure that ecosystems are sustained for future generations. This can include partnering with a venue that leverages renewable energy resources, providing recycling and composting receptacles, maximizing water usage, and using eco-friendly event supplies.
- Economic Sustainability: Support and improve economic growth without negatively impacting any social or cultural elements of the community. For example, many venues now feature meeting rooms furnished with sustainable materials and tend to use local suppliers and craftsmen.
- Social Sustainability: Support a safe, equitable, diverse, and connected atmosphere for people living within and around the community.
Additional strategies include:
- Go Paperless: Consider e-tickets, downloadable digital resources, and digital presentation screens.
- Host a Hybrid Event: Hybrid events can help reduce travel emissions and waste from the event.
- Choose a Venue with Sustainability in Mind: Selecting a venue early on in your conference organization schedule with sustainability in mind can make your efforts to be sustainable significantly more manageable in the future.
- Provide Locally Sourced Produce: This can also include the opportunity for attendees to get involved in local volunteering projects or give back to the destination.
By making decisions that eliminate waste and give back to the environment, planners can have an incredible impact on the health of their community.
