Viparis is launching a calculator to measure the carbon footprint of exhibitions, conventions and events. The tool takes into consideration the type of event, special features of the Viparis premises and organisers' actions from planning through to implementation. Using the calculator makes it possible to identify the event factors with the greatest environmental impact.
No reason to complain
Just like in the last big crisis, visitor quality counts for more than the sheer mass of people at a trade fair.
Vibrant exhibition architecture
The combination of corporate identity and design yields vibrant innovative potential for exhibition architecture.

In addition to networking, the 16 Swiss member venues can also look forward to accessing the German market through the marketing measures they enjoy as members of Europe's biggest industry association.
The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority food and beverage employees and their union have reached an agreement with the new concessionaire at Boston's two largest convention centres, paving the way for the new contractor, Levy Restaurants, Chicago, to take over in Boston on June 1, 2010.
