Sustainability at InfoComm

InfoComm 2026 minimizes environmental impact while promoting equity and innovation through our general service contractor and venue.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), through the LVCC Climate Action Plan, demonstrates strong sustainability commitments aiming for 50% greenhouse gas reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050, alongside initiatives like 100% water recycling, waste diversion exceeding 59% at partner resorts, and renewable energy powering major venues.

Complementing these efforts, Freeman leads as a founding member of the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative, targeting 50% GHG emissions cuts by 2030, zero waste goals, and fostering inclusive social programs like diversity in design collaborations to empower underrepresented communities in the industry.

Smart Dining & Hydration

BYO Bottle

The Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) has high-tech filtration stations. Bringing your own reusable water bottle helps you avoid the $5+ plastic bottles sold at concession stands.

Plant-Forward Choices

Look for plant-based or locally sourced options at lunch buffets and food stands. These typically have a much lower carbon footprint than meat-heavy dishes. 

Avoid Single-Use

Carry a small set of reusable utensils or a metal straw in your bag to avoid the plastic cutlery. 

Digital Over Physical 

Scan over Grab

Ask for a digital copy of any booth literature. Scan QR codes or ask that information be directly emailed to you. 

Digital Business Cards 

Use apps like LinkedIn or digital card platforms to swap contact info. It’s faster and harder to lose.

Use the InfoComm Mobile App

Download the official event app to access maps, schedules, and speaker bios. 

Sustainable Swag Strategies

The "Will I Use This in a Year?" Test

Before taking a branded pen, keychain, or stress ball, ask yourself if it’s something you truly need.  

Return Your Badge

At the end of the show please return your badge to the bins at the exits to recycle the plastic sleeves and lanyards for future events.

Greener Operation Strategies, 365 Days a Year 

The LVCVA has implemented initiatives in the convention center that minimize waste and maximize resources, not only during active building events, but all year long.  

We Save Energy  

  • Reducing lighting intensity by 50% during event move-in/move-out periods.  

  • Powering off escalators on low-traffic days.  

  • LED lighting conversions to reduce consumption by more than 1 million kWh per year.  

  • Building Management System (BMS) to control and monitor building energy efficiency.  

  • Harnessing the Las Vegas sun energy by utilizing solar chargers on utility carts.  

We Conserve Water

  • Using water-efficient products certified by EPA WaterSense.  

  • Installing and maintaining native desert landscaping throughout our grounds, saving more than 1 million gallons of water annually.  

  

We Reduce Waste

  • Using a dual-stream process to capture mixed recyclables (paper, plastics, metals), diverting items from trash receptables.  

  • Single stream compactors, such as metal and cardboard, are used to produce cleaner recyclable commodities.  

  • Practicing Green Procurement processes to evaluate the environmental impact of the product and service prior to purchasing.  

  • Managing materials and repurposing used equipment is no longer viable to the operations to benefit the community.  

  • Water bottle filling stations are placed throughout the property to reduce single use of plastics as well as including water station locations on the Mobile App.  

  • Solar-charged powered hand-sanitizer dispensers to reduce single-use batteries.  

  • Cigarette waste recycling converting cigarette butts into energy at 576 watts per pound.  

On the Horizon  

LVCVA is committed to building current successes and maintaining a proactive approach toward future sustainable activities. As we continue to experience growth within our industry, we anticipate an even greater need to explore sustainable options and remain committed to our stakeholders, customers and community.
