The fourth greenmeetings and events Conference will be held in the metropolitan region of Stuttgart from 13th to 14th of February 2017. Since 2011, the conference organizers - the European Association of Event Centres (EVVC) and the German Convention Bureau (GCB) - have offered the opportunity for around 400 attendees to exchange ideas about future-focused topics on sustainable event management every two years. At the conference, attendees – ranging from specialists and managers of conference and exhibition centres, hotels or arenas, to service providers with connections to the meetings industry – get to know the newest trends in sustainable event planning. They will be given a platform for an exchange of ideas, while creating a broad-based awareness of sustainable approaches to meetings and other events. Alongside the two forums of Technology and Marketing & Communication, there will be a special emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility this year. In addition to presentations on Best Practice, excursions and workshops, the conference offers the opportunity to discuss current issues, for example: “What’s the best way to commercialize a sustainable event?” “How can old buildings be repurposed sustainably?” or “What possibilities are there for implementing Corporate Social Responsibility?
