Our environmental impact: We are working hard to reduce the environmental impact of our events and lower our carbon footprint as much as possible. Find out more here. We would encourage exhibitors to think about their environmental impact on the day by reducing 'throw-away' gift items and maybe being more creative with merchandise... by, for example, running a competition, to give away a more impactful item.
