Sustainability Efforts

IFMA recognizes that sustainability, resilience and responsible stewardship of the environment is paramount.

Here’s what IFMA is doing to become more sustainable:

Digital signage

To minimize on using printed signage, we will be utilizing digital signage throughout our conference and expo.

Less printed materials

This year we will continue to offer a condensed show directory to reduce on using paper materials. The educational program, exhibitor listings, maps and most event details will be available digitally on our mobile app.

Use of recycled materials

For any printed materials, such as our easels, directional and informational signage, they will be printed on recycled paper and will not use foam core. Our large session grid will also be repurposed afterwards.

Limiting single-use materials

Waste reduction

IFMA will work with Colorado Convention Center/Centerplate Catering to divert food waste by donating meals or composting scraps.

What can I do to offset my carbon footprint?

IFMA has collaborated with carbonfund.org to provide event attendees with the chance to offset their carbon footprint from flights by contributing a $20 donation during registration. Carbonfund.org supports three crucial types of carbon offset projects: Energy Efficiency, Forestry, and Renewable Energy. These projects play significant roles in combating climate change and are meticulously validated and verified by third-party entities to meet the highest standards (subject to availability). Following World Workplace, each participant who opted to join the program will receive a certificate verifying the chosen project and its offset impact.
