Selling Green

Green meetings have gone from movement to market. Just a few years ago, only 7 percent of meeting planners were planning green meetings (Meeting News survey). Today, 71 percent say they either currently ask about green initiatives on RFPs, or plan to this year (Meetings and Conventions, October 2009).

For many planners, selling green is preaching to the choir — their stakeholders are already on board. But if you need help answering questions or sealing the deal, we can offer valuable proof that green meetings make good business sense.
