It's Time for 'Show and Tell'
By NANCY J. ZAVADA
Just as in grade school, "Show and Tell" is an important part of the learning process. So as 2010 has just ended and green meeting practices have continued to evolve, it seems like a good time for some "show and tell."
Following is how four different organizations were able to accomplish both. We'll let them share their stories so we can all learn.
Donation Leads to Reuse
Eclipse Summit Europe is an annual event traditionally held in Germany with over 400 participants. The conference manager reports, "When we left Eclipse Summit Europe 2009, we donated the sign easels to a local art school. The teachers and students were thrilled to have the easels and wanted us to use them when we came back to town. Sure enough, we called today (almost a year later) and they offered to bring the easels to the venue for our use. We also had to purchase lamps for this year's event and donated them to the school afterwards. One of the key sponsors heard of our donation and has done the same with many of the components of her booth."
