San Jose's Sustainable Event Offerings

Cutting-edge meetings are nothing new in San Jose, Calif. But while the tech innovations of Silicon Valley are most likely to come to mind when planners consider this destination, in recent years, San Jose has also been distinguishing itself for its pioneering efforts in sustainable meetings.

In this video, Team San Jose Vice President of Sales and Destination Services Matthew Martinucci shares the significant commitments the destination has made to environmental responsibility — and what that means for meeting planners. He outlines the numerous practices in place at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, from charging stations for electrical vehicles to an energy-efficient lighting system to an aggressive recycling and waste-reduction program. Beyond the convention center, San Jose continues to get greener, from energy saving at the San Jose International Airport to citywide environmental efforts.
