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 outside the meeting industry 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. Within the meeting industry, Meeting Revolution volunteers time to Meeting Professional International, US Green Building Council, APEX: Green Meetings & Events Practices Panel - Food and Beverage Committee and ASTM E60 Committee.

We also donate a portion of our profits to World Wildlife Fund and Sierra Club.

Meeting Revolution is a proud member of Meeting Professionals International, Green Meeting Industry Council, ASTM and the US Green Building Council - New Hampshire Chapter.
