Cavendish Conference Venues announce two major Green Initiatives

February 5th, 2010

Cavendish Conference Venues announce two major Green Initiatives.

We have now moved all our electricity supplies from the Megalith that is EDF albeit on a green tariff (Carbon levy exempt) to Ecotricity. The logic is twofold. Firstly we prefer dealing with smaller companies, EDF professes to have somewhere over 100 000 employees, there is just no human face; it is all about systems and processes. Second, EDF produces both clean and dirty electricity, we prefer to buy from a company who are 100% focused on clean electricity, not an organisation with a foot in both camps.

 

We have moved our food waste recycling from Paper Round another ancient megalith with the customer service to match. To a much smaller organisation with a composting facility 20miles away from us, as opposed to the 100+ miles round trip the disaster calling itself paper round used. The savings in CO2 emissions are clearly fantastic.

Finally a use for Google Wave

January 20th, 2010

We are still playing around with the Google Wave, how exactly we could / should we introduce this into the conferencing arena. What’s for sure is that it is much more than a text-messaging forum, along the lines of the infamous live twitter streams we have used so often at our Cavendish Conference Centre over the last year.  Maybe the little wigit introduced by Ribbit enabling teleconferencing in the wave points in to right direction. What this means is that for the first time real time voice and text can be incorporated into the wave and on into some form of presentation for the first time. Combine this with a variety of high capacity lines running over a range of networks and its clear PowerPoint might be the stuff of history, I guess the empire will strike back.
