The ESTC 2008 will be held at the legendary Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. The Fairmont is the first chain to have a brand-wide commitment to serving, whenever possible, sustainable, locally sourced and organically grown products as part of everyday food service operations. Additional considerations make the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver an eco-friendly venue. Eco-service provides “disposable-free” food and beverage services and recycling stations in the meeting rooms, such as china and cutlery used instead of disposal items or centerpieces that are edible/organic or made from reusable items such as silk flowers. Eco-accommodation offers in-room information, recycling bins, optional sheet and towel replacement at select properties, energy-efficient lighting, and water-conserving showerheads, toilets and tap aerators.
