Testimonials


"I wanted to tell you that based on the information you gave me in Sacramento last October I was able to implement a green strategy for a large conference I'm working on in Vegas at the Venetian, January 19-23. We have about 4000 attendees. We are providing each attendee with a conference water bottle and we will have water stations in each training room and in the common areas during breaks. This is saving a huge amount of money not providing individual bottle waters. Well over 50K… and that's after we purchased high quality conference water bottles. Our management liked those numbers and they like how it is tying into our corporate green strategies."

"We were so pleased with all of the green aspects that Amy Spatrisano from Meetings Strategies Worldwide made happen at the Summit. Sierra Club's reputation as one of the leading environmental organizations in the United States was under much scrutiny by our members as well as the public and we were pleased to get such high marks from all on our green efforts.

Thank you Amy -- you made Sierra Club and all of us proud!"

"While a lot of people deserve praise for a successful OOPSLA, [you] made my success possible. All of you gave me the information and help I needed to handle tutorials at every turn.

I thank you again, with all my heart. I was terrified the entire year, but you made it work."

"We got more responses to the green meetings article (in our July [2006] issue) than to any other article since I've started! I was very encouraged by the responses, and it seems that people want to know even more about practical strategies they can implement."

"Retaining Meeting Strategies Worldwide to assess the management practices we implemented to reduce the environmental impacts of WUF3 proved to be an extremely valuable experience. We were ecstatic to learn that the host of practices we employed resulted in a 4 Star MeetGreen Certification and hope that the results of our efforts will create a legacy for future organizers of the World Urban Forum.

Through working with Meeting Strategies Worldwide, we have attained a clear understanding of the level of environmental management we achieved and a solid basis for striving to improve our environmental performance in the future."
