As you get ready for the conference, consider bringing unused notebooks, pens, school supplies, and toiletries to donate to A Place Called Home in Los Angeles. You’ll help local kids start the school year strong—and create space in your suitcase for the great items you’ll pick up in the Expo Hall. This special initiative, supported by ASAE’s sustainability partner, Destination Canada, reflects the economic, social, and environmental pillars of sustainability: reducing waste, supporting local communities, and making thoughtful choices that benefit everyone.

Explore how real-world choices shape more sustainable events. Join us for an interactive walking tour starting at Destination Canada’s Booth?(1817). Walk alongside Destination Canada’s Executive Director, Business Events, Virginie De Visscher, and ASAE’s Vice President of International Affairs, Amy Hissrich, on a tour guided by the sustainability lead at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Enjoli Ferrari. We’ll go beyond what you see on site to share the why behind key sustainability decisions.
Hear firsthand how event organizers weigh options like composting, material reuse, energy savings, and venue certification—and how those choices balance mission, attendee experience, and environmental impact. Bring your questions and see how strategy turns into action in a live event setting.
Help us reduce waste and create a more sustainable event. Pack your favorite reusable water bottle and swing by Destination Canada’s Booth?(1817) during expo hours to top it off and grab a fun compostable sustainability ribbon for your badge. We’ve got plenty of filling stations all around the conference to keep you refreshed and ready to go.
Paper is one of the most widely recycled materials in America. According to the American Forest & Paper Association, we recycle nearly 60% more paper than we did in 1990! U.S. paper mills across the nation rely on recycled paper to make new products we use every day. This year, we’re asking everyone to do their part by recycling the paper used at Annual in the bins provided.
Each morning when you finish reading the Daily Now, we invite you to return it to the recycling bins located where you picked it up—either at the Convention Center or at select conference hotels.
ASAE will once again offer sustainability stations in the expo hall for appropriate distribution to, recycle, convert food scraps to energy, and waste.
We’ve worked hard to make this year’s Annual Meeting more sustainable—but we need your help to make an even bigger impact. Together we can strengthen the event’s environmental, social/cultural, and economic sustainability.
Bring and refill your reusable water bottle.
Skip single-use plastics and keep your bottle topped off at filling stations across the convention center. Don’t forget to stop by Destination Canada’s Booth?(1817) to fill up and pick up a fun compostable sustainability ribbon for your badge!
