Eco-Friendly Venues for Greener Meetings
Being aware of our impact on the environment isn’t just trendy – it can make a huge difference to your attendees as well! When we plan events with the environment in mind, we’re making sure that not only are we planning the best possible event, we’re also ensuring the longevity of our shared world. We wanted to shine a spotlight (powered by green energy and LEDs, of course!) on our local venues that make an extra effort to ensure that your event affects the hearts and minds of your attendees while affecting the health of our planet as little as possible.
Museum of Flight
The Charles Simonyi Space Gallery is more than just a beautiful space (pun not intended), it’s LEED Gold Certified! Wow your guests by hosting an event under a full-size model of the Space Shuttle used to train astronauts for their missions, and while you’re impressing them with out-of-this-world sights, you can feel great about your impact back here on Earth by knowing that you’ve chosen a facility that keeps our planet’s health in mind.
Cedarbrook Lodge
Not only is the Cedarbrook Lodge deeply entwined with the lush landscape around it, they also take that interconnection through to the rest of their practices. Their restaurant and catering serve local, organic food with 100% compostable take-out boxes and utensils, and they compost their own kitchen waste. Their Green NATÜRA bath products are eco-friendly, they use only environmentally friendly cleaning supplies, and their housekeeping staff uniforms are made from recycled plastic! They’re also currently pursuing LEED certification.
