MPI Event Impact Forum: Preventing Food Waste

An interactive session designed for professionals in the meetings industry to explore new best practices for preventing food waste at events. Drawing on recent tools developed by the World Wildlife Fund, the session will examine why this challenge persists even in high-profile settings and what specific decisions can help drive positive change. Throughout the session, topics such as building a shared vision on food waste, aligning criteria with venues and catering services, and communicating with attendees to promote more responsible behaviors will be addressed. Participants will take away key concepts, applicable conversation strategies, and a practical roadmap for reducing overproduction, increasing food recovery, and reporting results more effectively.
