At Coast to Coast Conferences & Events (CTC), we believe every event is an opportunity to make a positive impact. As a women-owned business with over 30 years of experience, we’re dedicated to integrating sustainability, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into every facet of our operations. Our mission is to lead by example, crafting exceptional events while championing environmental responsibility and social progress.
Our Approach to Sustainable Events
Balancing sustainability with budget constraints can be challenging, but at CTC, we show our clients that eco-friendly practices can save money over time. We offer sustainable-compliant options for every aspect of our event planning scope, including catering, branding, venue sourcing, and logistics.
These solutions are tailored to each client’s preferences and goals, making it easy to incorporate sustainability without sacrificing quality. We emphasize long-term benefits such as cost savings, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced attendee perception, empowering our clients to make impactful choices.
Sustainability in Action: How We Help Clients Go Green
Here’s how we’ve helped clients adopt greener initiatives within their events:
- On-Demand Badge Printing: For a 1,000-person conference, we reduced waste by eliminating excess badge stock, cutting costs, and minimizing environmental impact.
- Evergreen Conference Branding: Developed reusable branding materials for annual events, saving clients on printing costs and reducing waste.
- Sustainable Dining Ware: Opted for reusable or recyclable options to eliminate single-use plastics at events.
- Recycling Badges: Encouraged attendees to return badges and lanyards for reuse at future events.
- Event Apps: Transitioned a client from printing 100-page programs (at a $15K annual cost) to a digital app, saving $10K annually and allowing for real-time updates.
Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Design
Our work with the CEO Success Community highlights our commitment to sustainability in event design:
