Choose an “all-in” reusable stand package from the organiser, or design your own stand so that the structure can be reused year after year. Work with your stand builder to make your stand as sustainable as possible, and avoid creating a disposable stand for a single event.

Create reusable, undated signage using recyclable materials and environmentally friendly inks wherever possible.

Use LED lighting and other low-energy equipment on your stand, and remember to switch them off at the end of the day.

Where possible, choose public transport or share transport with colleagues.

Choose a hotel within walking distance and/or one that follows environmentally friendly practices.

When arranging transport, consolidate your shipments and, wherever possible, use transport and logistics providers that follow sustainable practices.

Avoid food waste by ordering only what you need.

Take an active part in the many initiatives and discussions taking place during the event to support the sustainable development of your sector.
