BSHI are committed to providing an environmentally friendly conference and providing sustainable options where possible.
Below are some of the ways this is being achieved:
We are no longer using single plastic badge holders, and are instead printing all badges on recyclable paper
Sustainable and biodegradable lanyards will be used
Reusable drink bottles will be given to all delegates and water stations are provided
The conference will be paperless – the conference app will be the main information source
Any printed signage will not be dated, to ensure that they can be used for future events
All food will be locally sourced to reduce carbon emissions
Exhibitors will be asked to reuse their stand materials where possible and be encouraged to take any waste away to recycle
The conference venue is in a central location with fantastic transport links
Poster abstracts will be presented on digital e-posters instead of paper.
