Conventa is among a handful of international trade shows that measure carbon footprint systematically. The organisers teamed up with ClimatePartner to precisely measure the results. This year, the calculation proved that a systematic and holistic approach contributes to reducing the carbon footprint generated by transport.

Conventa, one of the oldest business trade shows of the regional meetings industry, transforms Ljubljana into a bustling hub for professional event organisers every year. Following two editions in August due to the corona crisis, Conventa will return to its traditional winter date.

At the Bea World Festival, where the best global events compete for gold, Conventa won first place in the category of green and sustainable events. Conventa’s groundbreaking 5R model convinced the esteemed international jury, who saw the methodology as a credible solution for organising future events sustainably.

Reducing negative impacts on the environment is one of Conventa’s most important objectives. That is why this year, the organisers meticolosuly measured the carbon footprint of the entire event. The carbon footprint was calculated by ClimatePartner, based on measurements of emissions generated at the GR - Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre.

Ljubljana played host to Conventa, the premier tradeshow of the meetings industry in New Europe. Reducing the event’s impact on the environment sits at the heart of Conventa’s aspirations. Conventa Week took place from 23 to 26 August 2022 in Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre and various locations across Ljubljana.
