Join SITE Mountain West for an enlightened and informed education and networking event at Flanker Kitchen & Sporting Club in Salt Lake City. The education will run from 4:00-5:00pm followed by a reception and hors d'oeuvres at 5:00pm.

Description: Sustainability is a strategic priority for many public and private sector organizations around the world. So it is natural that sustainability thinking is extending into events of all types. This interactive session will explain the broad nature of sustainability (it’s more than just plastics reduction!) and share how venues and planners can best collaborate to deliver memorable events for attendees while also delivering environmental and social benefits.

Learning outcomes: You’ll learn how to set priorities, use sustainability to improve the attendee experience, and develop effective and creative sustainable event plans.
