Canada Media Marketplace 2010 Wins IMEX AWARD for Small to Medium Meetings
June 2011
The Canada Media Marketplace team is very happy to let you know that the 2010 event held at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco was awarded the IMEX Green Meeting Award for Small to Medium Meetings at their recent annual conference in Frankfurt, Germany.
Under the tutelage of MeetGreen based in Portland, Oregon, the Canada Media Marketplace team has been working on greening up our meeting beginning with the event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles in 2008. With our Partners’ help, our goals were achieved and recognized within just 3 years! We could not have done it without all of you.
Together, we set about developing a program that could exceed sustainability targets across the board. IMEX judges praised Canada Media Marketplace for its consistently high performance in the areas of waste reduction, sourcing local products and materials, energy conservation and carbon off-setting. We were also validated for creating a legacy that will continue to develop over subsequent years.
The IMEX Green Meeting Awards are presented in partnership with the Green Meeting Industry Council (GMIC). The Awards set stringent standards, judging applicants against their ability to demonstrate innovative efforts to significantly minimize the environmental impact of a meeting or conference. Success measures include energy efficiency, air and water quality, water conservation, waste minimization and environmental purchasing criteria.
Canada Media Marketplace is a Canadian Tourism Commission initiative.
