Sustainability - NEEDS UPDATING 

Advanced Therapies Europe 2026 will be held at the InterContinental Barcelona. The venue address is as follows: is committed to delivering a sustainable event and we encourage our exhibitors and contractors to make sustainability a key consideration. So, whether you are a fully-fledged sustainability champion or you are new to the topic, we have collated some useful points and actions that will allow you to succeed in planning towards a more sustainable event at Advanced Therapies Europe 2026 will be held at the InterContinental Barcelona. The venue address is as follows:.

Printed Material and Collateral:
  • Are there more sustainable options available?
  • Research the materials you are going to use on your booth – can they be safely and effectively used again?
  • Reduce your printed literature by switching to digital options e.g., in-booth displays that can be easily cleaned and/ or handouts made available by USB or email.
  • Minimise the amount of printed material distributed and reuse excess marketing material after the event e.g. don’t put a date on printed items so they can be used the following year.
  • Take home what you don’t use!
  • Consider using local suppliers – this supports local businesses and reduces your carbon footprint.
  • Use paper packaging rather than plastic.
  • Use recycled paper wherever possible or FSC certified paper.
Energy and Resources Consumption:
  • How many devices you are powering on your booth – are they all necessary?
  • Manage energy consumption by incorporating low voltage LED lighting into your plans.
  • Minimise the use of water wherever possible.
Transport:
  • Encourage all stakeholders to use public transport rather than taxis.
  • Encourage car-sharing by setting up a car share scheme; report how many miles and how many journeys saved – can you incentivise this?
  • Team up with a carbon offsetting company and devise a mechanism for your all your stakeholders to get involved with carbon offsetting – there are lots of different companies including a UN programme.
    https://offset.climateneutralnow.org/registerresult/2
Waste:
  • Minimise your waste
  • Plan what can be recycled – how, when and where?
  • Utilise recycling bins that are available appropriately
Suppliers:
  • We encourage exhibitors to use and contract ITC Europe 2026 recommended suppliers. Working with companies that are already collaborating with the event/business can reduce your environmental impact because you will benefit from shared transport/labour.
