All WQA Events are planned with sustainability at the forefront. We aim to partner with venues that are environmentally conscious and share similar sustainability goals.
2025 Convention Venue – Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center:
- The Long Beach Convention Center integrates sustainability with energy-efficient “cool roofs,” LED lighting retrofits, advanced water-saving fixtures, comprehensive recycling programs, and eco-friendly dining options.
- Learn more about the venue’s many sustainable efforts here.
Working Toward a Zero-Waste Event:
- Convention name badges are made of sturdy paper rather than plastic, making them recyclable and biodegradable.
- Typical printed event materials are instead available in the Convention Mobile App to reduce paper usage.
- A ‘virtual tote bag’ feature is available in the Convention Mobile App to replace physical tote bags full of printed materials.
