KBHCCD is committed to supporting and encouraging sustainable practices. As one of only a handful of U.S. LEED-EB and ISO 14001-certified convention centers in the nation, our dedication to resource conservation, sustainability, source reduction, and waste diversion is standard operating procedure. The KBHCCD prides itself in hosting environmentally friendly meetings. Recycling is a big portion of being green and one of the easiest ways planners can get involved. It not only reduces costs for you, your attendees, and exhibitors but also reduces landfill space and energy used. After their event, planners may also consider donating unconsumed food and other consumer goods to our KBHCCD Good Neighbor Program, which diverts leftover items from landfills to local non-profits. For more ways to host a sustainable event at the KBHCCD, contact your Event Manager.

KBHCCD offers a variety of paid on-site advertising options for clients, their exhibitors, and sponsors. For more information, visit the Advertising & Sponsorship page. For more information, contact the KBHCCD Marketing Manager at least 90 days prior to your event.
