Why do Fortune 500 and EU companies choose one venue over another when sustainability is on the table? Johanna Behm, Envire's Co-Founder and CEO, has sat on both sides of that decision, planning events for Workday in Europe and later in life sciences and pharma. In this session, she's joined by Nikki Simmons from Oregon Convention Center's sales team for a live conversation on what actually moves planners to say yes to a venue, and why.

We'll explore with OCC, the first convention center in the world to earn LEED certification and one of the few in the U.S. to reach LEED Platinum, how the latest innovation in venue sustainability turns into a real operational win. OCC now has event-specific insight into utility consumption and waste, and has cut the time to produce a client-ready sustainability report from 10 hours to 30 minutes, a 90 percent reduction, across all 150 of its annual events. Includes a live automation demo.
