Firstly, we need to establish what is a ‘green event’ is as people can become confused about all the differenct terminology and the different things we should be doing to save the world!

 A green event is a carefully  planned event taking into account its effects on the environment and trying to reduce its carbon footprint.

Green venues are suppliers that are environmentally responsible and care about the effect their dasy to day running has.

 Things organisers can do:

- Think carefully about the location - Will all delegates need to drive? If so can you organise a car share schme of transport in buses? Does it have good public transport links, so delegates can choose not to drive if they wish?

 - Events generally can be organise electronically - from contact with venue to online registration

- Try to use your 3 R’s - reduce, reuse and recycle - recytcle any brochures you receive, reuse exhibition stands and recycle ink cartridges! just a few simple things make a little difference!

- If your really into saving the environment, you can calculate your carbon footprint and do something to balance it out, for example, why not plant some trees and put it into your (electronical!) newsletter.

 Remember, a few little things do help!

Morris Conferencing’s venue directory has interested many suppliers in the industry because of its benefits , therefore hundreds of conference venues and hotels have already signed up.

Star Venues is a conference venues directory devised by conference agents, constructed by conference agents and used by conference agents.

 It is free for the basic listing - for more information please contact info@corporateconferences.co.uk

 The Royal Yacht in Jersey is a brand new Hotel, which has been reopened afer a massive £32 million expansion and refurbishment, which has expanded Jerseys conferce portfolio.

The Hotel has Conference and events facilities, looking fresh and upd to date, with a real edge. It is close to the St Helier Marina, and only 15 minutes from the airport, making it very accessible. 

Their conference facilities are extensive, ranging from small boardrooms catering for up to 12 people, to the Celestial Hall which caters for theatre-style seating of up to 280 people.

The main conference suite is very flexible and can be custimized to meet your needs - with Audio Visual equipment and partioned walls, allowing you to breakout into syndicate rooms if needed

 Jersey is a great place to have a conference - It is not only 35 minutes away from most UK airports, but it could motivate your delegates. Jersey is not too far away and has a better feel to it than the usual conference in London. 

 The Hotel has 108 bedrooms and two penthouse suites and some excellent bars, restaurants and a Spa to relax in - well worth a look!
 

When a residential conference is not required, companies may find it more cost effective to hire out a specialist meeting room with business facilities instead of a large conference hall.

Morris Conferencings’ venues database contains information about meeting rooms, syndicates and business facilities within venues and provides a fast track way to contact the venues managers at these venues which means business meeting rooms can be booked for you with at day delegate rates.
