ASTM WK22056
There is tremendous interest in green meetings, however, without standards meeting planners and suppliers (hotels, A/V companies, catering companies, transportation companies) are challenged to design and implement more sustainable meetings. In the marketplace, there are a range of approaches or attempts to codify what constitutes a green meeting. As the umbrella organization representing thirty-four organizations, the Convention Industry Council (CIC) and its members realized the value of creating one standard that all industry participants agree upon. Because CIC doesnt represent just one constituency in the meeting industry, and in fact includes on its board representatives from every member organization, it truly serves as the voice of the industry without competition. It therefore is in a unique position to drive the development of industry standards without concern for gaining an unfair advantage over another group. The ASTM process offers CIC value in establishing an internationally recognized standard. The standards will be voluntary and will likely be adopted by a vast array of parties involved in planning meetings, conferences, events, and trade shows including but not limited to meeting planners, conference service managers, catering personnel, hotel staff, convention center staff, conference center staff, audio/visual companies, trade show managers, and trade show exhibit managers.
