The BCCE and Conference Management and the Wisconsin Union strive to promote green conferences and events and ask our conference guests to help us in those efforts.
We have replaced plastic usage with compostable fiber plastic made from renewable sources for all our food service needs.
Additional efforts for greener meetings:
- 100% post-consumer content nametags
- Biodegradable nametag holders & recycling bin at conference headquarters
- Recycling bins located at all meals and on every floor of meeting site
- Online mailings, communication, and promotion of conference events
- Surplus food donated to local food bank
- Airport shuttles to minimize car and taxi trips
- Reusable conference signage to direct conference participants
- Online registration & electronic registration information communication
- Discontinuation of BCCE "pocket guides"; all conference information will be available on ExOrdo and its companion app.
- Rather than conference give-aways, a pop-up online store to order any and all BCCE 2026 swag you desire!
We are very proud of our changes and will continue to make future decisions based on alternative sources and environmental stewardship!
