9:21 pm camerontoth: Anyone have tips on event best practices for "Green"? #eventprofs
9:22 pm camerontoth: Like... Pitchers of waters and cups as opposed to bottles. Also saves money. #eventprofs
9:23 pm camerontoth: Like... Make huge banners that are not date specific! So you can use them for the next event. #eventprofs
9:23 pm MichaelMcCurry: @camerontoth same with electronic proceedings versus teh paper version #eventprofs
9:23 pm Mizcity: Finding shelters or places that will take pickup leftover foods after events #eventprofs
9:23 pm FERevents: Totally agree. @bradpirman thanks! great reference: Bottom Line"Sustainability" is far more encompassing than "green". #eventprofs
9:24 pm bradpirman: @camerontoth we gave out stainless steel bottles at an event and then had water stations set up. #eventprofs
9:24 pm camerontoth: RT @Mizcity: Finding shelters or places that will take pickup leftover foods after events #eventprofs
9:24 pm MichaelMcCurry: @camerontoth or re-using meeting signs year to year #eventprofs
9:25 pm dc2fla: @camerontoth It does -but pitchers around ANY equipment (when it spills) not so good... #eventprofs
9:25 pm FERevents: @bradpirman That's a good idea! Most attendees forgot to bring their own. #eventprofs
9:25 pm MsStallings: @camerontoth w/ all due respect-from attendee POV-no H2O bottles=oof, economy must be hurting companyX. how do we approach this? #eventprofs
9:25 pm camerontoth: @bradpirman - Were they branded? Great idea to save money be a little greener and get your message out! #eventprofs
9:25 pm bradpirman: @camerontoth Donating your leftover food. Yum!: http://bit.ly/13EbY4 #eventprofs
9:26 pm MsStallings: @bradpirman who paid for the stainless steel bottles? were they a support oppty? #eventprofs
9:26 pm camerontoth: @dc2fla - Open bottle spills... same effect! #eventprofs
9:26 pm bradpirman: @camerontoth they were branded. and came with a caribbeaner (sp) & we bought them for attendees #eventprofs
9:26 pm PinkDeb: #eventprofs hi all! Reuse, recycle, repurpose, rent all good sustainable= replacable with thought. Not distructive to environ
9:26 pm FERevents: Create more eMaterials for events rather than handouts, but it can get tricky what you email vs what you have to print out. #eventprofs
9:27 pm MsStallings: we r trying to reuse some signs now, but not always possible RT @MichaelMcCurry: @camerontoth re-using meeting signs year 2 year #eventprofs
9:27 pm camerontoth: @MsStallings - Done well the item can be really classy and at the end of the day save you and the attendee money! #eventprofs
9:27 pm MichaelMcCurry: @camerontoth yea but bottles don't spill as often as pitchers or glasses... #eventprofs
9:27 pm dc2fla: @MsStallings Great point - enlisting sponsors for support (eg stainless bottles) is a shared opportunity #eventprofs
9:28 pm camerontoth: @PinkDeb - Easy Green!!! - Hire someone who provides green services! #eventprofs
9:28 pm bradpirman: RT @dc2fla: @MsStallings Great point - enlisting sponsors for support (eg stainless bottles) is a shared opportunity #eventprofs

9:29 pm photobiz: @PinkDeb very cute deb! #eventprofs
9:30 pm FERevents: @PinkDeb Great song LOL. #eventprofs
9:30 pm bradpirman: @camerontoth or a consulting company. Here's one that's run by an ex-meeting planner:http://www.linkedin.com/companies/tred-lite #eventprofs
9:30 pm camerontoth: @MichaelMcCurry - I want to see the statistics on falling glasses, bottles, pitchers and then we will talk. The savings win! #eventprofs
9:30 pm bradpirman: @camerontoth also, I just met @thegreenboriin: Meeting Manager who's passionate about greening the industry through consultation #eventprofs
9:31 pm MsStallings: There is ptential issue w/ demographic of attendees. Older attendees *may* not be up to speed w/ e-materials. How do u deal? #eventprofs
9:31 pm camerontoth: Reminder to those coming in: Tonight's Topic: Going green - tips, tricks and suggestions! Let's add best practices! #eventprofs
9:31 pm photobiz: @MsStallings teach them! #eventprofs

9:31 pm MichaelMcCurry: @MsStallings this is a great question!!! I support ematerials but how do we handle with aging population #eventprofs
9:32 pm bradpirman: @camerontoth glasses and pitchers require a lot of washing in the kitchen too. Not only water but heat and soap in the streams #eventprofs
9:32 pm dc2fla: @camerontoth When someone spills water on the lights, downstage monitors etc. or backstage b/c pf no bottles, your savings go #eventprofs
9:32 pm PinkDeb: RT @MichaelMcCurry: #eventprofs all is good, you all in Atlanta? Me -Heading to baltimore tomorrow for #neocon
9:32 pm MichaelMcCurry: @bradpirman Ahhhh Brad.... great point!!!! #eventprofs

9:33 pm dc2fla: @camerontoth Pitchers to save costs have come up in pre-meetings forever #eventprofs
9:33 pm CNTV: Another idea... Consider video highlights posted online instead of print show dailies. Much greener! #eventprofs
9:33 pm FERevents: Rethinking event locations & attendee travel options. Encourage us of planes, trains, buses, & subways vs. rental cars & taxis. #eventprofs
9:33 pm MsStallings: @photobiz Easier said than done. Although - I need to get colleagues on board first :) #eventprofs

9:35 pm dc2fla: (Knew I'd forget to switch hashtags sorry) #eventprofs
9:35 pm camerontoth: @bradpirman - It seems there may always be a place for the water bottle. But, they waste water, plastic, paper, gas, AND #eventprofs
9:35 pm photobiz: @MsStallings -those who dont know seem to want to learn as long as they are not being forced to see the light-like social media #eventprofs
9:36 pm camerontoth: it has been proved that most Tap water is of better quality than the water you are drinking out of the bottle. #eventprofs
9:36 pm MsStallings: @MichaelMcCurry agree..but will ad sales & attendee interest in dailies be hurt? I like getting dailies & assns need ad $ ? #eventprofs
9:36 pm bradpirman: @camerontoth I've found that people that rec'd the bottles still use them at their offices. That's a LONG TAIL! #eventprofs

9:37 pm FERevents: Insist that ur caterers use organic locally grown foods which don't have the carbon footprint assoc. w/ long distance transport. #eventprofs
9:37 pm PinkDeb: #eventprofs rethink, reuse, recycle, repurpose, rent, LED lighting may cost more upfront but less electricity used. Room stays cooler etc.
9:37 pm bradpirman: @MichaelMcCurry LOL!!! it really does taste toxic!! #eventprofs
9:37 pm MsStallings: @photobiz if all meeting materials are electronic only, aren't they being forced? or do you mean to still have hard copy option? #eventprofs
