Yes, you can ask everybody to recycle. You can send e-schedules instead of offering printouts. You can even ask everybody to bring coffee mugs to cut down on paper cups. But those strategies won’t exactly bond delegates to your event. So, how can you tie your conference into things green and enhance engagement?

During "What CSR Really Means to You and Your Delegates" at IMEX America, hear the results of the Global CSR study, which provides insights into how the results could be used to benefit your meeting and hospitality business. Global insights of delegates and the meetings industry will show the strengths and shortfalls in the in the current CSR state of play. The session will be presented by researchers from the International Center for Research in Events, Tourism and Hospitality at Leeds Metropolitan University and will include examples of how CSR is being implemented in practice.

Learner outcomes include

• Enhance your understanding of CSR in policy and practice
• Learn ways in which CSR can be enhanced and why it should be
• Gain insights into the global perspectives of your delegates
