THE FIRST CARBON-NEUTRAL CONFEX
2024 marked a groundbreaking year for International Confex as we made significant strides towards sustainability. With the invaluable support of our partners and a keen focus on eliminating unnecessary waste, we proudly delivered a net zero Confex. Meticulously considering every element of the show floor to minimise environmental impact, our efforts included reducing the use of disposable materials, reusing on-site signage, and completely eliminating single-use plastics.
Managing the carbon footprint of exhibitions is challenging, especially with contributions from both exhibitors and attendees. To address this, we partnered with several organisations to accurately calculate and offset our carbon emissions. This year, you may also notice that we've reduced the amount of carpeting on-site for theatres and stands to minimise materials going to landfill.
Additionally, we are being conscious of where we source our signage, opting for recycled materials that can be recycled again post-event and using naturally sourced ink wherever possible to reduce our environmental impact. These efforts, combined with other sustainable practices, reflect our commitment to a greener future for the events industry.
