Green Meetings

It's all about "green" in Eugene! From the Cascades to the coast our citizens have a keen appreciation for protecting our common inheritance of natural beauty and precious resources. Consistently recognized as a sustainability leader, Eugene, Oregon and the surrounding communities are a natural draw for green meetings.  

Green Event Centers

Utilizing a progressive green meeting space is an excellent way to "go green." Venues like The Center for Meeting & Learning at Lane Community College and the University of Oregon’s Lillis Business Complex exemplify green design and management. Or book an ultra-hip meeting space that has been "re-purposed" rather then torn down. Look for energy conservation policies, on-site recycling and green janitorial service.

Green Event Planning

Add an eco-inspiration activity to your conference agenda with a tour of an organic farm or sustainable industry. Additionally, we have an authentic group of extremely passionate sustainable speakers and enthusiasts. 

Make Mine Green!

Try these sustainable suggestions:

• Provide online access to conference materials rather then distributing handouts, binders or brochures.
• Forgo imprinted plastic gizmos and make an impression with amusing entertainment, edible treats or special discounts.
• Provide bike pedi-cabs or biodesiel shuttle service.
• Use water coolers and pitchers instead of individual bottled water and soda cans.
• Offer bulk sugar, creamer, butter, jelly and cream cheese instead of individual servings.
• Use the facility's glasses, plates, silverware and cloth napkins. For disposables choose compostible or biodegradable cups, plate and utensils.  Do not use Styrofoam.
• Provide clearly marked, easily accessible recycling and composting bins alongside all trashcans.
• Serve locally grown and organic food and beverages.
• Extend the life of florals and other decor by donating them to local non-profits after the event. Do the same with leftover food.
• Consider creating a carbon-offset program for your event such as planting trees, purchasing wind energy or donating to a conservation program.
