While events are essential to the development and strive of an industry, their impact on the environment can also be negative. Here are a few recommendations exhibitors can implement to help reduce the event environmental footprint. Help us make the event more sustainable. Every little action helps!
Stay tuned for more about sustainability at ASIS Europe on https://asiseurope.org/exhibitor-ressources/

Recommendations for a more Responsible Exhibit
- Compensate the carbon emissions from your staff travel to the show through a carbon offset programme
- ASIS Europe is partnering with the local NGO Vita Impact to provide an offset solution to attendees who wish to compensate their travel emissions – you’ll find the option in the exhibit staff registration form. If you have already registered, or want to donate for the whole staff team, please use this donation form. If you want to donate directly to our partner to obtain a certificate, please contact Vita Impact directly.
- You can also use another travel emission offset programme.
- In addition, some hotels are also proposing offset programmes to their guests – just ask them.
- Avoid all single-use plastic.
- Do not provide plastic bottled water/drinks, use a water cooler and reusable bottles or glasses. ASIS will provide water coolers / water jugs all around the exhibition.
- Avoid any unnecessary plastic wrapping for booth items
- Think recycled or sustainable materials when ordering give-aways (e.g. seed paper leaflets, recycled plastic or metallic bottles, etc)
- Avoid or reduce paper.
We recommend using as little as possible brochure material. If you still want to use brochure materials, we advise you to choose materials that are less harmful to the environment. Use recycled paper and cardboard or ensure paper or cardboard is certified with FSC or PEFC.
- Consider the give-away approach to offer sustainable/eco-friendly gifts and giveaways at your booth (no active distribution to general public)
- Use LED lights and energy-efficient equipment at your booth. And switch off all lights and equipment at the end of the show day.
- Separate the waste generated at your booth by using the waste sorting at the congress centre.
- Use public transport or walk to the event.
o The recommended hotels are walking distance from the venue, see suggestions here
o The venue is right on the subway line that goes directly to the city centre
o ASIS will provide a link where you can buy your public transport pass at a reduced rate.
o Please check out alternative transportation in Dublin here: Dublin Public Transport – Maps, Timetables and Information
