Green Meetings City Discussion Groups Registration Open

The Convention Industry Council (CIC), in partnership with the members of the local meeting, convention, exhibition industry as well as other stakeholders, will host City Discussion Groups (CDG) as part of the Accepted Practices Exchange (APEX) efforts on Green Meetings and Events. City Discussion Groups are events akin to town hall meetings and are a vital part of the development of accepted industry practices for the meeting, convention, and exhibition industry. Several discussion groups took place in March to review the draft standards developed for transportation, meeting venues, and destinations. The Green Meetings and Events Practice Panel expects to have the remaining six standards ready for comment by late May. Those standards will include: accommodations, audio/visual, communication, exhibits, food and beverage, and on-site offices. Additional CDG’s will be scheduled to review those standards.
