Greetings Congress Delegates!
Tomorrow begins the JCI 2019 European Area Conference in Lyon, France.
Are you ready for your upcoming trip and the conference?
Use these information to make the most of your congress experience and to visit the cultural and beautiful host city of Lyon.
WE DARE YOU TO RENDER THIS CONFERENCE MORE ECO-FRIENDLY!
Sustainable development will be under the spotlight throughout the 4 days of the conference with the help of the UN Global Goals. We decided to apply the standards of the SDGs to our very own decisions and efforts to offer a less resource-intensive conference. Therefore for ecological reasons, we invite you to enjoy your congress experience in a different way:
- There will be no Welcome Pack upon arrival and registration in order to limit waste.
- Paper and pens will be at your disposal during trainings if needed, help yourself but keep in mind to bring back what you didn’t use for the next user.
- You will get a free Eco-Cup upon arrival, keep it at all times!
- Enjoy all city public transport for FREE.
- An online Delegate’s guide is available for download to limit paper prints and our carbon foot print. Download it on all your devices!
(Don’t worry there will still be plenty of wine, cheese and champagne!)
