There is no denying the conference and events industry as a whole generates a lot of pollution. Consider travel, specifically air travel, which contributes greatly to the amount of CO2 levels in the atmosphere. As we are all becoming acutely aware of the effects of climate change on our world, many of us are making conscious decisions about how best to get to and from. We may choose to ride our bikes to work, take public transit, or reconsider attending our association’s annual conference because it requires a plane ticket.

Reducing plastic waste in the meeting industry

I remember about twelve or so years ago there was a big push towards ‘Green Meetings’ so I quickly got certified as a ‘Green Meeting’ specialist. During the course, we learned about various ways to make our meetings more environmentally responsible and I remember thinking – Just imagine where we will be 10 years from now.

The art of bragging

Published on

Living in Vancouver, it is easy to brag about our weather, mountains, oceans, and sushi. But is it wrong to say that as fall approaches, and we see reports of snow falling in Calgary, we want to call up Calgarians just to brag about eating sushi on Kits beach? There is an art to bragging. It is not subtle and it has to be short and sweet. It needs to be true. This is Sea to Sky’s 2018 Brag Book.

Core values and how to make use of them

Published on

Have you ever thought carefully about what your core values are? These are the things that you really, truly believe deep down and actually live by day-to-day. Could you name them? If put on the spot, I think most people could give a reasonably honest answer when speaking in a personal capacity. But it takes a bit more thought to do the same for a whole company or organization involved in the complicated, high-pressure business of exceeding its members’ or customers’ expectations, planning for the future and keeping the lights on.
