We are all being flooded with information on going green in both our personal and professional lives. In the world of public assembly venues, sustainability is important for the environment, community and venue itself. While some venues are achieving LEED Platinum certification, others are still asking “Where do we start?” IAAM and the Sustainability Committee are offering a webinar, August 19, 11:00am-12:30pm (CDT), specifically for venue professionals who have not yet begun or are just starting the journey toward a more environmentally friendly and cost savings building. “Sustainability 101” is a must for any public assembly venue’s “Green Team” or anyone needing basic training in implementing sustainable programs.
Hear from industry professionals as they share their experiences implementing, enforcing and upholding sustainable programs. Presenters: Sara Zetts, Facilities Manager, San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA; Nancy Straus, Resource Conservation Coordinator, Del Mar Fairgrounds, Del Mar, CA; and Ron Barham, Building Superintendent, San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA.
