Meeting Revolution was created out of a growing need for more environmentally friendly meetings. Our passion is to save the world but since that is such a large task we thought we do it one meeting at a time.

Currently Meeting Revolution donates time to Blue Ocean Society, cleaning New Hampshire beaches, New Hampshire Public Television answering phones during their telethons and auctions, and Salvation Army wrapping presents during the holiday season.

We also donate money to World Wildlife Fund and Sierra Club.

Meeting Revolution is a proud member of Meeting Professionals International, Green Meeting Industry Council, and the New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility.
