We know sustainability is important to our attendees, exhibitors, and the Content Marketing World community.
We are committed to running Content Marketing World in an environmentally and socially responsible way and want to inspire the sustainable development of our industry.
Here are some things we’re doing in Denver to support our goal of creating an inclusive and sustainable event that leaves a positive impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Renewable Energy: All Colorado Convention Center venue lights are LED, and we limit lighting and HVAC during move in days.
Carpet: The carpet in the expo hall is made from 100% recycled material, which helps the show floor leave a lighter footprint by giving new life to existing resources.
Mobile App: As we have in previous years, we are relying solely on a mobile app to display the agenda, the special events, and other important information. Besides saving a lot of trees, the app will allow you to connect with attendees and sponsors in meaningful ways.
Name Badges: Once again, we will be printing badges on heavy paper stock that will eliminate the need for plastic sleeves. We’ll have Terracycle boxes in the registration area for you to discard your badge before you leave.
Hydrate and Caffeinate: and refillable water stations are available throughout the Colorado Convention Center. Bring your own water bottle, or refillable mug for coffee breaks, to stay hydrated! This initiative has saved tons of plastic waste, and we appreciate your support.
Dishes and Utensils: All crockery and tablecloths at the Colorado Convention Center are reusable and compostable service ware will automatically be used for all meal services.
Sponsor Materials: Our sponsors are behind us all the way when it comes to helping the planet. Instead of printed seat drops and handouts, they will provide valuable materials via a digital conference bag on the mobile app. Booth giveaways have also become smarter, more functional, and more earth friendly.
At the end of the event, we’ll have bins to collect any leftover material from exhibitors. Based on the types of items collected, the Colorado Convention Center will coordinate with local non-profits to donate the materials accordingly.
Leftover Food Donations: Any leftover food from the convention center will be donated to a local nonprofit organization in Denver. You can learn more here.
Electronic Evaluations: Rather than fill out a paper eval after each session, we’re asking attendees to visit the mobile app for on-the-spot speaker evaluations. We’ll be donating $1 to Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue for every evaluation submitted, up to $2,500. See more below for our fundraising initiatives.
FUNDRAISING
We’re asking attendees to join us in supporting Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue, a non-profit animal welfare organization based in Denver whose mission is to save puppies, adult dogs, and cats from being euthanized in overcrowded shelters and rehome them.
Meet their adorable pups and make a donation in our Puppy Love Lounge, presented by Papirfly, in Booth # 933 on Monday and Tuesday from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
