While at the conference we posted this blog: http://makemesustainable.wordpress.com/2008/03/08/sxsw-sustainability/ Especially at one of the country's largest INTERACTIVE conference you'd imagine we could have come up with more innovative advertising methods then a million paper handouts.

I often wonder how many of those pages are ever actually seen by human eyes? At last month's Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise (http://www.phillyemergingtech.com/) conference in Philadelphia the material that's usually printed was distributed to attendees on a 512 MB USB key which was attached to the badge lanyard. This was more eco-friendly, easier to use, reusable, and one less thing that I had to carry around. Printed proceedings waste a lot of paper.
