2016 Additional Conference Information

Greening the Conference

What attendees did to help make the conference more sustainable:

  • Explore other travel options besides flying to Kansas City, such as taking the train.
  • Reuse your hotel linens and take quick showers to minimize water use.
  • Tell the hotel to hold your daily newspaper if you don't plan to read it.
  • Instruct housekeeping to replace your sheets only at the end of your stay.
  • Turn off any lights, TVs, or computers in your hotel room when not in use.
  • Bring your own water bottle and/or coffee mug from home to reduce waste on site.
  • Reuse your water bottles and drink from the water stations instead of using disposable plastic bottles.
  • Turn in your name tag at the end of the conference for reuse at next year's conference.
  • Whenever possible, walk, carpool, or take public transportation around town.
  • Return any unused handouts to vendors or conference organizers to reuse or recycle.
