Survey: How has technology impacted the delivery of sustainable event solutions?
We are happy to share the results of our joint industry survey, which ran on LinkedIn, social media and various databases for MICE Concierge, Full Circle Exhibitions and Association of Association Executives in October and November 2023. Please feel free to download the survey results.
We Are Proud To Launch The
Green Days Initiative To Support
Sustainable Practices In Our
Industry
The MICE Concierge team deliver a wide range of services for in-person, hybrid and virtual events, and like many organisations in our industry we’re expected to recommend and deliver effective ‘sustainable’ solutions. As a result, we have become acutely aware that the complexity of the content around sustainability frameworks, practices and measurement can be overwhelming and challenging and practical solutions can be hard to pin down.
At the start of 2023, Andrew Bowers, our Managing Director, decided to launch MICE Concierge’s own sustainability initiative called ‘Green Days’. Green Days @ MICE Concierge is a commitment to actively putting practical sustainability front and centre of this business operation. Andrew and the team have stepped up immediately with three key projects that provide clients, event organisers and attendees with genuinely useful, sustainable solutions.

A Win Win Sustainable
Solution For Accommodation
Bookings!
GreenBedZ is the new service from MICE Concierge, developed to be an ‘easy to use’ ‘carbon neutral’ accommodation option for clients, event organisers and attendees when booking bedrooms for B2B and Associations events including Congress and Symposia. It is a ‘win win’ solution for those working within a ‘sustainability framework or policy’, who are looking for a practical and easy way to make a positive impact and which also provides a supporting paper trail.
How does GreenBedZ work?
01
The MICE Concierge Team calculates the Carbon Measure for each room-nightbooked for your event
02
The Carbon Cost is totalled and a statement provided to the attendee or organiser
03
The Carbon Cost can then be offset with a payment to a verified carbon offset project of your choice
Why are GreenBedZ Better?
Clients, Organisers and Attendees finally have the option to book a ‘Green Bed’!
They can easily see the Carbon Cost of their stay
They will receive a paper trail of the Carbon Cost of attending their event
They can feel positive that that their hotel stay is carbon neutral
The Carbon Cost statements provide visibility to contribute to the sustainability credentials of the supply chain
GreenBedZ allows anyone booking groups (exhibitors especially) to use the data to feed into their organisational ESG policies
If you’d like find out more about how GreenBedZ could be incorporated into your accommodation options, please fill in our enquiry form, call +44 (0) 1438 908770 to chat to one of our friendly team, or drop us a line at info@miceconcierge.com
