Green Meeting
Tip
When using generic signage for meetings, such as for registration, general sessions, or directions, use a durable material such as centra. The more durable the material, the longer the signage will last. When it is necessary to order new signs, use recyclable materials. Also, try to make your signs as generic as possible by not including dates or locations.
