January is about more than trying to stick with New Year's resolutions. It's also a big month for conferences, trade shows, and sales meetings.
Now that those events are moving to virtual platforms, people are discovering that hosting them online has some advantages – for one thing, it opens up the event to more presenters and attendees, who no longer have to worry about scheduling conflicts or the time, effort and expense required for travel.
Another huge benefit of going virtual? It eliminates the environmental impact of bringing together hundreds or thousands of people. Think about it:
· No travel to and from event
· No lighting, heat or air-conditioning (AC) for the venue.
· No heaping mounds of trash destined for a landfill.
Sustainability and eco-consciousness were already trending before COVID-19 changed everything, so promoting virtual conferences as a win for the environment makes a lot of sense – starting with an eco-friendly swag bag. And as a bonus, all the products you're about to see are part of our 1% For The Planet program, meaning one percent of sales are contributed to environmental nonprofits.
Pretty cool, huh?
