Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Designing Meetings with Purpose

In this session, we will take a look at how you can incorporate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into your event and organization.  We will start with making the case for adding a CSR initiative and how this can benefit your attendees and organization, and how this can be implemented at your meetings.  Then, we will look at real-life application of CSR through a series of case studies, both on a small scale and a larger, organization-wide scale. Finally, we will close the session with a showcase of potential CSR partners so you can begin working on CSR initiatives with right away.

Learning Objectives:
1)  Describe the benefits of implementing a CSR initiative to your attendees and stakeholders
2)  Apply the lessons learned from organizations that have implemented a CSR Initiative
3)  Compare potential CSR partners to see if they are a fit for your organization
