Green Meetings

Book meetings sustainably

Organizing an all-around sustainable event is not exactly simple, because all processes from travel and accommodation to suppliers, consumables and energy efficiency have to be put under the "green" magnifying glass. Besides choosing one of our various sustainable certified conference hotels, we offer you a very simple way to book your future conferences "green".

Simply book every meeting sustainably: 1 meeting participant – 1 tree

Hands hold small plant with soil against green background.

For only 3,- € per conference participant you plant a tree through our partner Click A Tree and thus not only fight climate change, but also create jobs in less privileged regions of our earth.

From now on, simply book sustainability with your contact at the MICE Desk in addition to your conference!

You will then receive the "Tree Award" certificate for your "green" conference booking.
