Sustainability Efforts
STEPS TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
In an effort to create a more sustainable event, we are proud to offer water refill stations around the Austin Convention Center and will not be selling any single-use plastic bottled water in our concession areas – so don’t forget to grab your complimentary Nathan water bottle at the event!
We are taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint by removing aisle carpeting and no longer providing carpet with our standard booth packages.
Your 2019 badge will no longer be in a plastic holder! This year we’re using badge stock made of recycled paper and are they biodegradable. As usual, we’ll have bins onsite to recycle your badges responsibly.
