Hilton's ‘Meet with Purpose’ Inspires Sustainable, Healthy Choices for Events

Hospitality leader delivers simple solutions for planning responsible events
Meet with Purpose is a Hilton program launched in 2015 to help meeting professionals address the growing desire for health and wellness in the meetings and events space. The program aims to inspire meeting professionals to enable more productive, meaningful and memorable meetings that better meet the needs of attendees. The initiative also serves as an extension of Hilton’s Travel with Purpose program, which is an effort to drive positive social and environmental change across our operations, supply chain and communities.
Meet with Purpose is supported by three focus areas:
- Mindful Eating: Indulge the senses with our unique menus that are a feast for the eyes, mind and stomach, featuring locally sourced ingredients and dishes designed to boost energy and reduce leftovers.
- Mindful Meeting inspires meeting professionals to host more sustainable events by considering practices that are less resource-intensive. The solutions range from using paperless registration and placing notepads in a central location to turning off climate control when a meeting room isn’t in use.
- Mindful Being keeps attendees invigorated – mentally and physically – with fitness and stress-relief activities as well as rewarding give-back opportunities that are sure to inspire.
