People and planet pledge
Make your pledge for people and planet
We’re on a mission to support both people and planet by telling stories and seeking action. Whether you’re a booth coordinator or a buyer, we’re asking you to make a pledge to champion social impact and environmental responsibility at IMEX America.
Commitment
By each committing to four simple actions, together we can create a show that’s both inclusive and conscious of our impact on the planet.
Recognition
We’ll highlight participating booths with a green booth number and in a listing at the IMEX-EIC People and Planet Village (if you make your pledge by September 25).
Reward
Everyone supporting the pledge can collect a ribbon at the Village to emphasize their participation.
