Duurzame bijeenkomsten bestaan niet

Duurzame bijeenkomsten bestaan niet. Maar op het gebied van grondstoffengebruik, recycling, maatschappelijke betrokkenheid en personeelsbeleid valt nog veel te winnen. Het is aan de branche om maatschappelijk verantwoord organiseren bij de opdrachtgevers onder de aandacht te blijven brengen.

Professionalism = Accountability 4 april 2012,
Interesting to follow the story of poor business management decisions made by the General Services Administration (GSA) in conducting a meeting, as well as some of the industry reaction.

Save the Green Planet 22 mei 2012,
Two awesome pieces of news that appear to conflict: 1) Elon Musk, the most interesting man in the world (co-founder of PayPal, Tesla Motors), and his SpaceX team (yeah, he founded that, too) successfully launched their first rocket for NASA. 2) Earlier this month, the Green Meeting Industry Council debuted Meeting the Future, “the world’s first guide to […]

The 10th annual IMEX trade show is open for business at Messe Frankfurt. This year brings 4,000 hosted buyers from more than 60 countries and an expanded education program featuring—you guessed it—MPI.
