Expo Europe Exhibitor Sustainability Commitment
IAAPA Expo Europe is committed to reducing impact of the Expo. Working together with exhibitors we try to save resources, avoid waste and act in an environmentally conscious way. In 2023, nearly 50% of exhibitors signed Sustainability Commitment.
In return for your company's commitment to IAAPA's sustainability program, the IAAPA sustainability logo will be added to your booth sticker on-site and you'll receive a digital badge added to your listing in Connect+.
