Event Greening Forum at Meetings Africa
The Event Greening Forum had a great presence at Meetings Africa, including a stand (the first Event Greening Forum stand in history!) in the exhibition hall. The stand incorporated low energy lighting and fabric branding that is highly re-usable (through the lack of venue or date specific information, for example).
The co-chairs of the Event Greening Forum, Justin Hawes and Grace Stead, each spoke on the topic of greening. Justin facilitated the SAACI Educational Seminar, and presented on the EGF. Grace was a guestspeaker at the Gearhouse Unique Speaker Bureau, and gave advise on how to green an event – using Rocking the Daisies as a case study.
