Summary
We are all facing lean times with our conferences and events these days. Just yesterday in the United States, the National Bureau of Economic Research reported, “The U.S. has been in a recession since December 2007,” The global economy reports similar indicators. Does this mean that we should be pulling back our sustainability efforts? The unequivocal answer: No.

In today’s tougher economy there is no better time to look for ways to improve efficiencies, maximize investment, reduce cost and innovate. The solution to overcoming economic challenges can be found in the environmental and social opportunities that are calling on meeting professionals to create the most sustainable and value-added approach to their activities.

Meeting Strategies Worldwide is pleased to present our first White Paper discussing the dual challenges of economic viability and corporate responsibility. The time for a sustainable meeting solution is now, more than ever.
