Have you thought about impacts of digital event gifting? Meaning the the swag you send to each participant attending your event. Its definitely less impact to meet online but then you add in the event gifting and that’s a whole other story. Many digital events reduce emissions by 95%+ over a typical in-person conference. However, did you know physical gifting in digital settings can shift these savings dramatically and negate their benefit due to the greenhouse gas impacts associated with shipping?
Impacts of Digital Event Gifting
For example, a two-day 1,000-person digital event would see its emissions increase 96% by simply by mailing a standard 5kg gift box to each attendee. Even lighter items on a seemingly small scale can have significant impacts when viewed as one-way flights and drives to attendee homes.
