Exhibitor tips

Dear exhibitors: join our green team and take action for the future! When you are an exhibitor at Future Lighting, you play a vital role in helping to create a sustainable event.

Below are some useful tips to make your participation more sustainable:

Choose a reusable all-in stand model from the organizer or design your own stand so that the stand can be reused several times. Work with your stand builder to make your stand as sustainable as possible! Avoid creating a disposable booth for one event…

Make reusable signing (without date) from recyclable materials and with environmentally friendly ink if possible.

Use LED lighting and other energy-efficient equipment for your stand and don’t forget to turn it off at the end of the day.

Try not to use carpet, and if you really need it, preferably opt for reusable carpet tiles. If you use regular carpet, make sure it is recyclable and recycled.

Whenever possible, choose public transport or carpool with your colleagues.

Choose a hotel within walking distance and/or with environmentally friendly standards.

Consolidate your shipments and preferably use transport and logistics companies with sustainable practices.

Give preference to local suppliers to support the local economy and reduce transportation.

Prefer suppliers with sustainable and responsible principles.

Bring your own reusable water bottle to use our water fountains and help us reduce the use of single-use plastics.

If you serve food at your stand, preferably choose locally sourced and plant-based options and avoid using single-use plastics.

Avoid food waste and order only the quantity you need.

Actively participate in the various initiatives and discussions during the event that support the sustainable development of your sector.

Inspire visitors by showing the sustainable features of your products.
