The Cable Show Goes CarbonFree®

December 11, 2009

The Cable Show 2010 has partnered with Carbonfund.org, the leading nonprofit carbon offset and climate solutions organization, to make this year’s show CarbonFree®.  By working with Carbonfund.org, we’ve calculated our conference’s carbon footprint and instituted a program to reduce that footprint to zero.

The Cable Show is offsetting all of the emissions from employee travel, hotel stays, meals, and the LA Convention Center by investing in Carbonfund.org’s high quality third-party certified carbon reduction projects. Both Cable Show attendees and exhibitors can contribute to offset the carbon footprint associated with their Cable Show participation.  Stay tuned for more details on the program and our progress towards reaching carbon neutrality.
