To reduce paper usage, we aim to provide electronic information whenever possible. Important updates and conference details will be communicated through email.

We care for the environment and avoid using plastic name badges. Instead, your name will be printed directly on recyclable paper. Feel free to return your lanyard for recycling after the conference.

We are proud to partner with companies with a focus on corporate social responsibility and sustainable practices. Our sponsors and exhibitors will minimise waste generation through reduction, recycling and reuse of any marketing material.

Auckland Zoo has been a Toitū net carbonzero certified organisation since 2016, and currently diverts 85% of its waste away from landfill each year, has multiple recycling and green waste streams, and hand-sorts waste on site to ensure correct processing.

Working closely with the venue, we strive to minimize food waste. Food waste /scraps will be passed on to pig farmers, oils recycled and leftovers donated to local organisations.

To reduce single-use plastic waste, kindly bring a refillable water bottle.
