How can visual technologies contribute to more sustainability in conference and convention centres?

Every industry sector is urgently looking at ways to improve the sustainability of their business and conference organisers and their delegates are also under the spotlight. So what can the latest visual technologies do to help conference organisers and convention centres make their business more sustainable? 

Travel to and from events and hotel stays all add up to an increasingly large carbon footprint but the technologies organisers use can assist with minimising this impact to some extent. For example, the ability to deliver high quality virtual and hybrid events minimises travel for delegates. High profile speakers also no longer have to jet from one continent to another. They can be brought to life for audiences around the world by using projection and augmented reality to present their persona on stage – saving international air miles.  

Green energy and global goals 

At a European level, green energy is now being used at almost all our operational locations and at a global level Panasonic Corporation has also set ambitious goals. We have a target to reduce the CO2 emissions of all our operating companies to Net Zero by 2030. In addition, we have also set out our Environment Vision 2050, where energy created will exceed energy used by the business and the use of its products by society.  

There is no easy route to sustainable business activities other than addressing each individual challenge one step at a time. I’m proud to say that Panasonic has clear goals and is well underway on its sustainable journey. Event organisers and convention centres are already seeing the benefits of these changes and they will continue with our commitment to a sustainable future.
