From ingredients and portion sizes to waste reduction and service ware, review the choices you make as part of the strategy, design and execution of event F&B functions through the lens of sustainability, all based on MPI's new whitepaper, "Sustainable F&B: Your Guide to Eco-Friendly Meals," developed with support from Virginia Beach.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><a class="btnCert2" href="https://www.mpi.org/docs/default-source/pdf/white-papers/sustainable-f-b_whitepaper_rev3-14-pdf.pdf?sfvrsn=fc6f9d5a_2"><span style="font-family:Lato-300;">Learn More</span></a></p></div> </div> </div> <div id="Content_C204_Col01" class="sf_colsIn col-sm-2 col-xs-12" data-sf-element="Column 2" data-placeholder-label="Column 2"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="row cap padding-xxl-top" data-sf-element="Row"> <div id="Content_C197_Col00" class="sf_colsIn col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1" data-sf-element="Column 1" data-placeholder-label="Content Block Goes Here"><div class="row cap" data-sf-element="Row"> <div id="Content_C142_Col00" class="sf_colsIn col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-1 col-10 offset-1" data-sf-element="Column 1" data-placeholder-label="Content Block Goes Here"><div class="row cap" data-sf-element="Row"> <div id="Content_C143_Col00" class="sf_colsIn col-sm-4 col-xs-12 col-12" data-sf-element="Column 1" data-placeholder-label="Column 1"> <div > <div class="sfContentBlock sf-Long-text" ><span data-sfref="[images|OpenAccessDataProvider]b93a104d-ac40-4732-81ed-e5ca40bf2964" class="sf-Image-wrapper"><img src="https://mpi.org.imgeng.in/images/default-source/test-images/inclusion.jpg?sfvrsn=cb0f30b1_0" alt="Inclusion" title="Inclusion" data-displaymode="Original" style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;" /></span></div> </div><div class="row cap" data-sf-element="Row"> <div id="Content_C109_Col00" class="sf_colsIn col-xs-10 col-xs-offset-2" data-sf-element="Column 1" data-placeholder-label="Content Block Goes Here"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="Content_C143_Col01" class="sf_colsIn col-sm-8 col-xs-12 col-12" data-sf-element="Column 2" data-placeholder-label="Column 2"><div class="row cap" data-sf-element="Row"> <div id="Content_C156_Col00" class="sf_colsIn col-sm-9 col-xs-12 col-12" data-sf-element="Column 1" data-placeholder-label="Column 1"> <div > <div class="sfContentBlock sf-Long-text" ><p><span style="font-family:Lato-300;font-size:x-large;">The State of Inclusion in Meetings & Events</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Lato-300;">In September 2018, Meeting Professionals International (MPI) launched a pan-industry initiative to determine the current state of inclusion in the global meeting and event industry.
