Let’s work toward a more sustainable CES together

How to Exhibit More Sustainably

From planning your booth design to promoting your brand, here are some easy steps you can take to be more sustainable at the show:

1. Design your booth with longevity in mind. Reduce what’s sent to the landfill by considering what can be repurposed year after year, used for other promotions or rented. When people are at your booth, they know they are at CES. Consider developing graphics that are not date-specific so that they can be used more than once.

2. Utilize SmartWay partners for shipping and freight. Our partner, Freeman, is part of the EPA’s SmartWay program, that emphasizes sustainability practices when it comes to supply chain management.

3. Change the expectation of what a promotional takeaway is to your audience. The days of a printed booklet to capture the attention of prospective customers is gone. Digital content allows you to be nimble, adjust on the fly, and create tailored experiences for your customers. Don’t be afraid to forego printing! Find other giveaways that provide long-term value to your customers who engage with you at the show.

4. Educate your audience on company initiatives. CES is a catalyst for the important conversations that can lead to new partnerships and increased market share. With more consumers focused on the environmental impact that the products they purchase have, use your interactions at CES to showcase your commitments to curbing e-waste, utilizing sustainable packaging, materials, and substances, conserving water, incorporating renewable energy into your production line, and more.

5. Participate in existing donation programs! Did you know that the carpet used in booths is repurposed? Or that badges are recycled? What about food and beverage donations? If it can be donated or recycled, we can work with you. More information can be found in the exhibitor manuals.
