The forum :
As a complement, the ECORISMO forum enables exhibitors to organize live events in order to communicate even better about their environmental solutions… Conferences, demonstrations, happenings… Many possibilities which objective must stick with information and education. 80 events were organized in 2008, welcoming more than 1900 professionals !

On the website, the showcase enables exhibitors to display their logo with a link to their own website. The ECORISMO website is welcoming on average hundred professional visitors per day. Unlike many other fairs, ECORISMO has chosen not to publish any fair paper catalogue. The internet showcase is more performing as it is updated on a regular basis throughout the year !
The Ecorismo Trophies :
The ECORISMO Trophies have been created to support the best environmental initiatives. They are already considered as the reference of the « Environment Trophies » within this industry!
Three Trophies were awarded during ECORISMO 2008. Five to six are planned to be awarded during 2009. These prices will award the best environmental initiatives within the hospitality and tourism industries. Exhibitors can associate themselves to a Trophy, acting as organizer or as a sponsor.
The ECORISMO Trophies can be fully disconnected from the forum and trade-fair. The purpose is to use the Trophies as a major communication event during the rest of the year.

THE ECORISMO OPERATIONS
An « eco » - organization
ECORISMO is a peculiar and practical state of mind: to help and contribute to preserve our planet with a huge and massive environmental implication from all actors of the hospitality and tourism industries. The ECORISMO environmental process is developed and structured within an official on-going certification (EMAS recording, Bilan Carbon method). Examples of actions: communication objects and supports defined according to eco-criteria, eco-conception of stands, no carpet, low consumption lightings, selected waste disposals, communication towards visitors, exhibitors, speakers with the ECORISMO Pacts…
Exhibitors are sure to collaborate with responsible organizers regarding environmental issues.
A Committee for Exhibitor Selection (CES)
The Committee for Exhibitor Selection (CES, panel of experts on environmental issues) has the main objective to make sure all propositions from exhibitors will guarantee the best environmental quality products, and solutions will lead to environmental impact reductions in the hospitality and tourism industries.
CES decides:
To accept an appliacation. Candidate will become an ECORISMO exhibitor on reception of his booking form and deposit.
To postpone its decision, waiting for additional information.
To refuse an application.
Applications are gone through according to the following criteria (non exhaustive list):
Environmental benefit and no pollution transfer to another product life cycle.
Innovative features or bringing some potential interest or use to ECORISMO visitors.
Global environmental responsability of the exhibitor.
A fruitful but mainly friendly exhibitor dinner party
The ECORISMO organizers have also thought to reinforce the links between exhibitors. They are offering them a dinner party in a friendly atmosphere. The idea is to meet each other during the first evening to make exchanges, swap contacts and why not make business together!
