How to have sustainable conferences

  • Complain about disposable cutlery and water bottles
  • Fly Business class in domestic flights
  • Spend the whole day at the conference venue but sleep only at 5-star hotels
  • Do not have virtual participation, and then give out grants to 1% of attendees
  • Give talks so public-safe they could’ve been a PR press release instead
  • Gift chunks of metal & glass to speakers as thanks for trading carbon for vanity
  • Use the words “sustainable” and “environment” for virtue signaling and driving soft power
  • Read and promote LinkedIn Chinese whispers about the conference
  • Do it all every quarter
