The Panel will have conversations that matter with you about:
- Current Green trends within the industry.
- What it actually means to "Be Green".
Greening our industry is not just a trend anymore but more of a mandate for a number of reasons. It really is the future and we must act accordingly!

We will:
* Hear from those who have pioneered the green movement and share their
trials and triumphs with a couple of case studies.
* Discuss how they went about creating and implementing their green initiatives. Give some examples on how to begin integrating the initiatives into everyday decisions or how to enhance what is already being done.
* Hear from those who are in the mist of greening a specific event(s) and the challenges they may be currently facing and hear from those who have overcome the challenges and forged on.
* Discuss how to create green partnerships and how it is the key to being environmentally successful.
* Talk about our power position - the hospitality industry encompasses so many other industries and businesses that any change we make has a wide influence. We can exert considerable pressure on transportation, food and beverage industries, hotels, convention centers, hospitalities businesses, etc.
Thank you to our Event Sponsors, Moscone & Bauer's Transportation.
