Our sustainability pledge is a testament to our dedication to minimizing the environmental impact of our global conference and expo and contributing positively to our planet's preservation and restoration.

Understanding the Environmental Impact of Global Conferences

Global conferences and expos are essential for knowledge exchange, networking, and business development. However, they also come with a significant environmental footprint, primarily due to waste generation and the carbon emissions associated with travel. The accumulation of waste from event materials, food, and packaging, coupled with the greenhouse gas emissions from international flights and ground transportation, poses a considerable challenge to the sustainability of such gatherings.

Recognizing these impacts, Digital Asset Congress is determined to set a new standard for eco-friendly conferences by implementing comprehensive measures to reduce waste and carbon emissions while delivering a world-class event experience.

Our Solution: A Convenient and Strategic Location

To address the travel-related environmental impact, we have strategically chosen a location for our conference conveniently situated between North America and Europe. This decision not only makes travel more accessible for our attendees but also significantly reduces the overall carbon footprint of their journeys. By minimizing the distance traveled, we can collectively lower the emissions associated with air and ground transportation, contributing to a more sustainable event.

Commitment to an Eco-Friendly Conference and Expo

Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond location selection. We are committed to organizing an eco-friendly conference and expo by adopting the following practices:

  1. Waste Reduction: We will minimize waste by using digital materials wherever possible, encouraging the use of reusable items, and ensuring proper recycling.

  2. Eco-Friendly Transportation: During the show, we will encourage public transportation, carpooling, and other low-emission travel options for attendees. Additionally, we will explore partnerships with eco-conscious transportation providers to offer sustainable options for getting to and from the event.

  3. Carbon Offsetting: We calculated the estimated carbon footprint of our event and will invest in carbon offset projects (onetreeplanted.org) to neutralize our impact.

Supporting Climate and Nature-Based Charities

In line with our commitment to sustainability, Digital Asset Congress will donate a portion of each ticket sold to our sustainability partners, which include some of our favorite climate and nature-based charities. These donations will support vital initiatives to combat climate change, preserve biodiversity, and promote sustainable development.

Ensuring Eco-Impact Friendly Event Management

We pledge to manage our event in the most eco-impact-friendly manner possible. This includes working closely with our vendors, partners, and attendees to ensure that every aspect of the conference aligns with our sustainability goals. We will continuously monitor and assess our environmental performance, seeking opportunities for improvement and innovation in sustainability.

Conclusion

The Digital Asset Congress is more than just a conference; it is a platform for change. By pledging to host an eco-friendly event, we reduce our environmental footprint and inspire our attendees, partners, and the wider community to embrace sustainability in their endeavors. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for our planet, ensuring a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
