Part Two, Sustainability

Each week, we delve into the realm of artificial intelligence, posing one burning question to three prominent AI programs. After three decades in the event industry, TPNI has discovered that AI offers valuable insights and innovative perspectives on the logistical and technological advancements for planning successful events.
We asked three AI programs—ChatGPT by Open AI, Gemini from Google, and Bing’s Co-Pilot—our question for this week:

Certainly! Sustainability in conference management is gaining momentum, and here are five key trends to watch:

  1. Renewed Interest in Sustainability: Many clients are now prioritizing sustainable practices for their events. They want to make a positive impact on the environment and improve guest experiences. Features like abundant natural daylight, sustainable carpet tiles, and water bottle refill stations contribute to both sustainability and a pleasant venue experience.
  2. Use of Recyclable and Eco-Friendly Swag: Event organizers are opting for environmentally friendly promotional items and giveaways. These include reusable bags, bamboo pens, and other sustainable swag.
  3. Educating Attendees: Events are increasingly incorporating educational sessions on sustainability. Attendees learn about eco-friendly practices and how to reduce their environmental footprint.
  4. Green Catering Practices: Event planners are choosing caterers that prioritize sustainability. This includes sourcing local, organic ingredients, minimizing food waste, and using compostable or reusable servingware.
  5. Virtual Attendance: Hybrid and virtual events reduce travel-related emissions. By offering virtual participation options, conferences can reach a wider audience while minimizing their environmental impact.

Remember, these trends contribute not only to sustainability but also enhance the overall event experience.
